PAST EVENTS

Friday, July 12, 2024 – Crampton Gap Saunter

This 9 mile “saunter” near Burkittsville, MD was a day of fun and exploration. We saw the Crampton Gap Battlefield site, a Continuity of Government Apocolypse Shelter, and hiked through Blair Witch Country! We rounded it off with a fire and even found some fresh berries to snack on along the way!

Saturday, July 6, 2024 – Region 1 Day of Tournaments at 11:00am

Fun was had by all with a variety of delicious food offerings, catching up with friends from across Region 1, and plenty of heavy fighting and rapier! Lady Arianna trialed her roasted beef with garlic sauce and focaccia bread recipes, which will be featured at Haunting in the Hallow. Duke Andreas made enough hot dogs and hamburgers to feed the masses, and many other good gentles brought food to share. It was a day of leisure, friendship and fighting! Many are already clamoring for this event to return next year!

Sunday, June 30, 2024 – Shire Day in the Park 

It was a hot day at Jefferson Memorial Park, but quite a few fighters geared up to practice and the Cook’s Guild showed up in force.  Delicious Andalusian recipes were shared, including grilled meats and homemade sausages, Andalusian stuffed eggs, rice, pasta, salads, and cake! Yum!   Many folks even stayed late to enjoy one another’s company and the delectable dishes provided.  

Saturday, June 22, 2024 – Appalachian Trail Saunter

Despite the heat (103 heat index this day!) we had a great time on this hike!

Friday, June 21, 2024 – Thrown Weapons Practice

An excellent thrown weapons practice was held.  Folks from the shire and abroad attended. We had 10 throwers, as well as plenty of food and chatting.

Friday, May 31, 2024 – Thrown Weapons Practice

Everyone had a lovely time practicing thrown weapons, chatting around the campfire and noshing on hot dogs.  A beautiful evening of comaraderie and marshal activity.

Sunday, May 26, 2024 – Shire Day in the Park at 12:00PM-4:00PM

This was a fantastic gathering of Shire folk. Rapier and Heavy fighting practice had multiple participants, the cooks guild created a smorgasbord of delicious foods both documented and inspired by foods from Kievan Rus. Several folks were busily working on sewing and other A&S projects, while our A&S minister provided projects including cloth button making kits and wood block fabric printing.  With beautiful weather, a well attended event full of friends, and a fun historical atmosphere, this event was spectacular!
