Living History
Throughout the weekend you'll see history and culture come alive in various ways, all thanks to those who honor all aspects of Celtic life. Better yet, you can join in! Hear stories, peruse specialty collections, learn about swordfighting, and more.
More announcements arrive this Summer.
The 13th Realm

Society for Historical & Fantasy Times (SHFT)
Saturday Only
Gain wonderful knowledge and hands-on experience with ancient weapons and battle skills. SHFT members perform demos all weekend long, giving presentations and letting guests join in as well.
Spangler Forge
Spangler Forge is a true blacksmith shop: no power hammers, hydraulic presses, or propane forges. Their popular showcases combine traditional hand-forging techniques with modern metallurgy, creating unique and lasting pieces. Human spirit meets hot iron, just like it has for thousands of years.
The Wishing Tree
The tree's origins come from old Celtic traditions; variations include Fairy, May, and Votive Trees. Visitors add wishes (or prayers) as offerings to saints, deities or wee folk. At weekend's end they are ceremoniously sent to the heavens, where we hope many receive help in coming true!
