Come Hither all ye Fencers to the Shire of Blackwater to help with the largest Private Resort this side of the Pacific Ocean. They have asked for a Demo of 15th - 16th centry Fighting and Fencing to take place on the 10 of March at Holimont Ski Resort in Ellicottville, NY.
Set up is anytime prior to 10am with the Demo to run from 11 to 2. There will be a 40 foot long "Pirate Ship" that rises to 20 ft. made out
of - Now wait for it- SNOW! Is that cool or what?(Pun intended) Fencing may be outdoors if weather permits (supposed to be clear and in the 40's) otherwise we will have an indoor area. (Imagine Marque of Barroom rules) We may (Marshal permitting ) be allowed to fight onboard (if you dare). The theme is something like the Pirates of the Carribean Mardi Gras party.
There is a Mardie Gras parade (thanks Nugg) at 7pm downtown Ellicottville which we can partake in.
Directions:
Take your best route to Rte 219 in Ellicottville. At the stop light
in Town take Rte 242 West towards Little Valley. About 1 mile on the
left is the big green sign for Holimont. Turn left and bear left as
you go up hill. Go around the Main Chalet to the Main parking lot in
back. We will be all the way across the lot toward the Racing Center.
(ask the attendant- let him know that you are SCA for the Demo at
the Ship.) Arrr

Forwarded for your info! Last year we all got sunburned playing in the snow! This year should be the same or better! We had heavy fighting last year, as well as juggling, Hearldry, and displays of A&S static and ongoing with Lady Brigitte doing finger loop weaving. Hopefully this year will be jsut as fun or better!
