The Civil War Round Table of Western Missouri, in cooperation with The Little Blue Battlefield Preservation, the Fort Osage School District, preservationists, historians and neighbors of the Little Blue Valley area, sponsored this fun event to publicize, educate, and inform the public about The Battle of The Little Blue (part of Price's Great Missouri Raid, October 21st and 22nd, 1864). There were exhibits, preservation information, music, food, fund raising and reenactors.

The purpose of this gathering was, of course, to have fun and learn about Civil War history. However, it also marks efforts toward preserving the battlefield with fund raising efforts geared toward enhancing The Sonny Wells Little Blue Memorial Fund. Information was available concerning the threat to The Little Blue Battlefield via possible commercial development and the impending Missouri River Corridor (MRC) road project.
