A member of the group tells KETK the booth will be separate from those participating in the festival, a couple of blocks down from the actual event. The booth will be in a new plaza, which the group plans to dedicate in April. <\/p>\n<p>The Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce informed the SCV\u2019s John H. Reagan Camp #2156 of its decision on Monday. According to a statement from the Chamber, \u201cThe Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce is FOR building a stronger community. Our volunteers spend countless hours doing so. It is not in the community\u2019s best interest to allow politically divisive groups to participate in the Dogwood Trails parade or to be a vendor at the Festival. We are charged with the responsibility to operate on behalf of the city of Palestine.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Members of the SCV group said they were confused by the Chamber\u2019s decision. They say they\u2019re not meant to be \u201cpolitically divisive.\u201d According to one member, \u201cWe are a historical group. We\u2019ve participated in past events without any problem.\u201d One person speaking on behalf of the group says, \u201cThere is a lot of misconception out there. We just want to promote historical accuracy and act as educators in the community.\u201d But members add that they\u2019re not looking for a fight. The decision on where to set up the booth was made at a meeting Tuesday evening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PALESTINE \u2014 Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have decided to set up their own booth nearby after being denied participation in the Palestine Dogwood Trails Festival later this month.
