SCA Boar's Head Celebration at Waukesha Expo Center

It's Friday! As usual we have a number of last minute things that came up for our retiree groups at work, the joys of HR employee benefits! It's a busy day today, and next week will be insane around here.

I mentioned in yesterdays post, that this weekend, tomorrow, we will be vendors at a semi local SCA Event outside of Milwaukee. ( SCA is short for Society for Creative Anachronism. The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe.)

I've linked to Saturdays event http://www.caeranterth.org/calendar/boarshead/bhindex.html , the 26th Annual Boar's Head Celebration "The Return of the Cherries" at the Waukesha Expo Center, N1 W24848 Northview Road, Waukesha,WI. December 4th, 2004 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M

It's always a fun event, with everyone dressed up in renaissance period costumes, with Knights competing in archery, heavy, light and boffer fighting, and rapier. There is a large merchant hall for shopping with the various merchants selling all number of Renaissance period apropriate items. Classes take place through out the day, there is a Masked Ball and dancing, children's activities, Arts & Science displays, a full Renaissance style court and last but certainly not least, the infamous Caer Anterth Feast with Duchess Myfanwy ferch Elys (Fancy) along with Co-feastocrat Lord Balthazar fitz Gryphon, who will once again work her special magic in the kitchen.

Donation bins will be set up for new or gently used toys and a bin set up for donations to go to our troops. We will ensure that these items get where they will be appreciated. There will also be a wonderful lunch menu that will be provided, care of Dee's Catering!

I will be stopping by the store this evening to pack for the event and getting an early start tomorrow morning (5:00 AM). The event is about an hour and a half from our house, with set up starting at 7 am for merchants.


On another note, the birthday dinner for my mom was really nice last night, my sister in law loves the place and we have decided that for her birthday in January we're taking her out to 1776. Mom's friends at the other shops had a little get together for her during the day, and all in all, it was a great day for her!

Have a wonderful weekend!
