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 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.
I am putting in a lot of pictures over this month of April. The intent is that by the end of the month, there will be a full pictorial history of the Lance of St. Eligius that dates back to our beginnings up through most recent activities. I am starting with pictures from a long ago event that probably took place in 2000 or 2001, though I can not be sure of the exact year, maybe even before that (mental note to revisit timeline, as I think on it because seems like 1999 could be a possibility as well – isn’t it strange that to be so love with history, we do not keep up with our own very well?). Regardless, the pictures are mostly Lance Riders at some point or another on mostly SD and/or Angel. SD is long gone, but Angel is still around and continues her dedicated work. There are a few shots of other folks at the event as well. I make no claim as to being 100% on all identifications.
