The Muster and Cherry Sangria

Chris and I host an "after the Muster" picnic on our porch this summer.  The Deep River Ancient Muster has been an event since 1934, hosting more than 150 Fife and Drum Corps from all over the world.  The past few years have taken their toll on the participation.  The parade, which is our favorite part, is still two hours of heart pounding drum rolls and cannon fire.  It's always the hottest day of the year, so after the parade, we usually want something cold and refreshing, and this year we made Cherry Sangria.  I took the leftovers, strained out the fruit and froze the remainder for another event.
