Runaway Scrape to be remembered

Beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 10, at Texas Heroes Square in Gonzales, there will be one final Texas Independence event — a candlelight vigil to recognize and commemorate the sacrifice and hardships experienced by the families and community of Gonzales in the aftermath, known as the Runway Scrape.

The time has been moved up from  an 8 p.m. start due to Daylight Savings Time.

Susanna Dickinson, the wife of fallen Alamo defender Almaron Dickinson, will “appear” to tell of the Siege and Fall of the Alamo along with Joe, the personal servant of Lt. Col. William B. Travis, commander of the Alamo, who accompanied her on her trip to Gonzales.

Clark will be present 15 minutes before the ceremony to perform his original music about the “Runaway Scrape” and about Gonzales’ place in the struggle for Texas independence.
