There will be a living history event called Marching Through Time at Marietta Mansion County Park in Prince George's County, MD, on the weekend of April 16-17, 2005. The Longship Company will be there with the Gyrfalcon, the faering boat, MTT is a "Timeline Event" where groups representing any number of different eras in history strut their stuff. I believe that the Legio XX folks plan to be there, representing a Roman Legion at the time of the invasion of Britain in 43 CE. They are damned accurate in their presentations and may bring along some gladiator friends for a demo. Ther will likely be lots of re-enactors for American Revolution and War Between the States there as well your's truly in one or another character with either the Longship Company or the Anglo-Saxon Camp, whichever needs the turnout. Hours for the public are 11 AM to 5 PM and here is a link to a map on how to find the park: http://www.pgparks.com/places/elega...ta_visitor.html
There will also be merchants willing to take your money or plastic in exchange for a bewildering array of wares such as Anglo-Saxon Clawfoot Beakers (I bought one last year), clothing from many eras, some great eats (I bought some home-jarred cakes and just finished the last one - YUMMY!), weapons of various sorts, and toys for young and old.
I look forward to meeting some of you all in person. Look me up with either the Longship Company or with the Anglo-Saxon Camp. I will post more on which later.
