Inaugural Edgewater Celtic Harvest Festival

[Nighthawk]

Day 2!!

Our new tent with some life in it!! The gentleman on the right is our newest member, and this was his first time in a kilt- and he did it right! He went right for the great kilt!



And his wife. These folks make a great addition! I think they will help immeasurably with our authenticity!



Visit from a BIG doggie!!





New armor being displayed by our smithy.



My fellow leather giving a lecture on what he does. This gentleman is a Shetland native, and we are going to be tailoring our tent to reflect the islands of Scotland for next year, complete with a Shetland tent. (As a side note, people ask him how he manages to keep his accent for an entire lecture- an then he tells them that he has no choice. Those of us get a little giggle out of that!)



This is another first for the Renaissance Scots!

Our fighters giving a combat demonstration. This is usually our biggest draw, but at this festival, it was totally different! They get no more attention than the rest of us! We had as many people visiting the weavers as we did the fighters! It was a pleasant surprise. Anyways, here are the pictures of our fighters!















Probably one of the best pictures I've ever taken! Dan's feet aren't even touching the ground!! Timing was perfect on this one!!



And of course, what demo of Scottish martial arts would be complete without a Highland charge?



The chief of the Renaissance Scots standing in the audience after the charge.

So- all in all, this was a killer festival! It was a great ending to a great season. We had NO hospitalizations this year! We had a minor injury this morning requiring a visit from the on site paramedics, but everything ended well. Onto next season!!

This guy couldn't drive you nuts..... you've been there for years already.

It was a wonderful experience.

BTW the guy that asked your opinion on his handiwork I met him Friday and told him about the festival and talked briefly to him on Saturday, he was with his Mother-In-Law to be.

I'm not going to say anything about the guy that drove you nuts.
