General Notes

   Being that the origins of the carousel can be found in the ornate pageantry of the ring jousting tournaments of the thirteenth century, another non-profit group that preserves history has called upon us for help to hold an event open to the general public that is free to SCA members to raise money to maintain their museum. The Carousel Society of the Niagara Frontier invites you to participate in a joint event between the CSNF and the SCA to celebrate the medieval origins of the carousel. This will be a day of pageantry, revelry and martial tournaments.

    Rattan, Fencing, Archery, and Thrown Weapons tournaments will alternate through out the day. There will be dancing and children's activities. We invite bards and musicians to wander or use stage areas to share their entertaining skills. Artisans will be given space to display their work as well as the A&S tent where artisans can chat and work in the shade as well as inform the public of their arts. This will be an opportunity not only to help out a good cause but also to show off the best our Society has to offer.

     This event is free to all SCA members who attend in garb. If you do not have a membership card an authorization card or the endorsement of an SCA officer will suffice. Please demonstrate pageantry in the greatest sense of the word through your banners, garb, skills, armor, and conduct. Opportunities such as this for our society to shine before the general public and attract new members is rare and should be made the most of when opportunity shows itself.

     This is a daytime event with the park area opening at 8:00 am for set up. The event will officially start at 10 am and run till 8pm. There will be room for some period style pavilions; first come first right to pitch it up. Food vendors will be there, but feel free to bring picnic lunches and dinners.
