HISTORICAL REENACTORS

Last weekend, Fort King George held a historic reenactment day. My guy and I really enjoy going to these and talking to the reenactors. We had a lot of people there including women in colonial dress, men in colonial dress, men in English soldier dress, men in Spanish soldier dress, men in kilts, one monk, and one native American as he would have dressed in Colonial times.

LABOR DAY 2013

Fort King George celebrated Labor Day with one of their living history weekends. People camped from Thursday night to Monday, with visitors welcome in the daytime Friday through Monday. Thought I'd focus on the cooking and game stuff.

Some pots, tea kettle, and coffee pot:


Turkey roasting over a colonial type grill:


These belong to the nine pin game. Don't know what happened to the two balls the players use.


And here are the hoops. One little boy got pretty frustrated because he couldn't keep one rolling.


Not cooking or games, but had to get in the cannon being loaded. Those things are loud!


Hope everyone else had a good Labor Day, too!
