READY, AIM, FIRE! This family-friendly Junior Reserves activity enables kids of all ages to safely learn the basic principles of firing a Civil War cannon by launching biodegradable water balloons at targets down range. Join us as Fort Fisher junior reservists put the fun in physics. Program components subject to change. In the event of rain or a heat advisory, an indoor kid's activity will be substituted in the exhibit hall or theater.
