Cooking and eating wasn’t the only thing that the reenactors would be doing during the day, While some were teaching the youth, others were knitting and quilting, and still others, like this “lady on the blanket”, were working on practicing their musical skills, while still others discuss other forts that they have visited or studied.

I was tempted to buy a ticket but decided to hold onto my money. I really didn’t think that I had any need for a 1733 French Sea Service Flint Lock Pistol but it certainly did look appealing!
As I continued to walk among the tents of the encampment, I considered what it might be like to spend a weekend dressed a bit differently. Certain members of the family have suggested from time to time that I buy myself a kilt. Last year’s sutlers (merchants) had suggested that they could find just the right kind of headgear to replace my Tilley hat.
great photos again ron was good seeing you again
Thanks Bruce. I’ve managed to get the Water battle done and the encampment ones uploaded. Still sorting through the land battle shots (pun intended :-)) but uploading those might be delayed a bit.
