Event details

Jehan's Fencing and Fighting at the Fort returns!  Join us for a day of rapier combat (including the infamous stair pit) and armored combat in an atmospheric setting on the Penobscot River.  In addition to combat, there will be an A&S display, no documentation required.  There will be a fire to warm yourself, and places to fight or fence if the weather is inclement.  NO DAYBOARD, so bring your own picnic lunch.  Be aware that there is rough terain, a steep ramp into the fort, and a gravel road from handicapped parking to the fort entrance.  Saturday's weather is predicted to be rainy, but we can still fight in the gun bays.  Temperatures are presdicted to be in the high 40s, low 50s.
