Last Saturday I went up to Bowling Green, Ohio to participate largely in the capacity as a marshal for the SCA event known as Baron Wars. I have, in the past loved this event, though I have I think only been two times. In the past it was held and very large historical fort overlooking a bluff of the river. Times being what they way the site was made impractical so we moved to a large city park. The event was awesome on a number of fronts, but let me please inquire as to who is order the weather? Two weeks ago it was windy and getting hot, this past Saturday it was even more windy and darn near to cold.
The Midrealm kicked off the equestrian campaign season this past Saturday (25th of April 2009) with an event in North East modern day Ohio. The event was held in the Barony of Brendoken. I believe that that I can speak for all in saying that a good day of SCA equestrian activities was had by all.
The following is a quick glance at the current equestrian events that are scheduled for here in the Midrealm for this 2009 campaign season. There are definitely a few that are yet to be scheduled officially and I will repost when those are made official throughout the rest of the year. Also note that the updates will be found at the Midrealm’s Equestrian webpage.
Events 2009
Follow along on the addition of many pictures with ultimate intent of getting a photographical history of the lance, here on some pictures from another early event that we attended in pretty good numbers with Angel and SD in tow. I know several folks were present, but they did not show up in very many pictures. Also several good friends are in some of the pictures, including I am pretty sure both Que and Lora, not to mention the late Ouija, her famous mount. Again the date is circa 2000 or 2001, but I can not be sure.
First off, I am doing a post a day on the blog this month. This one is going to be short an sweet as I am starting to close to the deadline of finishing this by the end of the day for the first day. As I have noted elsewhere, I have jousted with a group call the International Jousting Association. They are a great group, very authentic, safety aware, and yet willing to actually hit with a piece of wood. It truly is an international group and has had a few stop and goes here in the United States. That is currently in the process of changing as the organization is, well getting organized here in the U.S.
