saving the harvest

This post is a break from the regularly schedule do good posts of the month but I just have to talk about Harvest War 2013. It was amazing! This was actually the first time I went to this event. Since I've only been playing in the SCA for just over a year and Mom and Dad had their farewell this weekend last year, I had never been. I love how intimate this event is. I love how it is the end of the camping season and how laid back it is. We still have all the stuff: classes, heavy fighting, rapier fighting, archery tournaments, thrown weapons tournaments, and youth activities. It is crazy to think of everything we pack into a single day. I was completely exhausted by the time it was finished. I was disappointed when the rain canceled some of the activities but was thankful we were able to do as much as we did considering it was supposed to rain even more.

I'll post pictures as soon as I find a camera cord. Until then, here are a few I stole from someone else. :)

Archery. We had luck in the morning with the Bandit Tournament but only one practice round of the Zombie Tournament before the downpour hit and we had to call it. Here are some pics...And I'm even in them!







Heavy Fighting. Yup, that is full metal armor. They use rattan swords for safety but everything else is very true to medieval times.
