History Fest

History Fest is upon us once again! http://www.historyfest.com/

It is held at Jack McGowan's farm outside of Mankato Mn. http://www.rivenwoodtower.org/

- baking in a clay oven

It is three days of historical demonstrations for local area school children and general populace. The Shire of Rivenwood Tower has participated in this great local event for over a decade and will do so again this year. We have a long list of demonstrations by shire members planned. Our group will be demonstrating baking in a clay oven, grinding wheat in a quern, armoured combat, chain maille making, coin striking, cooking over an open fire, rope making, and new this year, hands on heraldry, and medieval barnyard animals.

We have quite a few members now new to the shire that have never participated in History Fest. We are excited to have them with us. History Fest is a fun but extremely busy event. We could use more hands. Please do not feel intimidated or inadequate to participating! You will have a blast helping out!

History Fest begins Thursday, October 8th, 8:30am - 2:20pm. Friday, October 9th, 8:30am - 2:30pm. And Saturday, October 10th, 10:00am - 5:00pm. You may camp on site or day trip.
