<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A great big Thank you to Sir Cian, Sir Richard,
Lord Allen of Wolfhou, and Lady Blitha of Wolfhou for coming out to the Dog Mart
Event sponsored by the Izaak Walton League in Spotsylvania County,
VA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was very warm and humid and because
the weather was very shaky and threaten to rain all morning. It looked
like no one was going to come out to the Dog Mart. By
mid morning people started to show up and the demo was on.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The kids were thrilled with holding Sir Richard's
Helmet, Sir Cian's sword, and Lord Allen's shield. The kids were
interested and could not wait for the fighting to start. The kids
were quick to ask questions, followed by their parents. The three
fighters took turns entertaining the crowds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In between the fighting demo, people came over to
the display area to ask about the clothing, archery, leather work, weaving and
Lady Blitha taught the kids how to play 9 Man Morris. We passed out
several pamplets with info on the SCA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was a very good day all in all.</FONT></DIV>
