The staged battle took place Saturday. At left, Tom Frederick of Angola, Ind., loads his gun during the re-enactment. He was part of a Union regiment. Below, Kayla Fulper, 4, of Ravenna plugs her ears as gunshots are fired during the staged battle. The re-enactment was dedicated to Kayla's grandfather, Wayne Roosa of Ravenna, who recently died. Roosa was a re-enacter with the 5th Texas company. Roosa owned a business in Ravenna called Elizabeth Ann II, which outfitted local re-enacters. His family plans to keep the business open.
