SCA Gulf Wars in Lumberton, MS, begin March 9, 2008
I’m guessing that some of my readers are also Society of Creative Anachrosnism (SCA) members. I just came across a reminder that the gates will open to Gulf Wars at 8:00am on March 9th.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Gulf War, it was explained thus on the GulfWars.org site:
Attendance is currently around four thousand. It attracts a temporary community of people from throughout the known world, all willing to suspend life in the 21st Century for a week and pretend they are living before the year 1600.
Attendees transform Kings Arrow Ranch into a medieval town and revel in the recreation of ancient times. A fort and some backdrops to the action are permanent on the ranch; others require participants to use their imaginations. Encampments are built when members arrive and everyone tries as far as possible to live in character the entire week. We feast on authentic period food, reproduce medieval artifacts and clothing, enjoy medieval music and dance, and we fight, day and night!
One of the great things about the SCA is their continuing education programs. Looking over the lists of classes being offered is intriguing, to say the least. For all of you attending the War, have a great time and … we’ll see you at Faire!!
