The Philly Faire ( https://www.phillyfaire.com/?fbclid=IwAR34hSUO2LNAvNzmCRP90oMOeawUhliGrDASqIWrwxituRQmgPN1d5n_l-8 ) held at quarter millennium old fort new the Philadelphia airport: http://www.fortmifflin.us/
It’s a cool place right by the river with a lot of history.



It is at the end of the Philadelphia airport runway, so a lot of planes fly over.



While not a castle with a moat, it had a lot in common with it.

We had a corner for our tent and ring and the faire did a good job of filling up the fort. I thought it was very cool they had a stage inside the walls in the catacombs.






Due to the planes there was a sound system for folks that was quite useful.

We shared our stage with the amazing David Darwin ( http://www.daviddarwin.com/ )
It was an honor to be on the same stage as him.



There were only 5 of us this weekend (And, we were very happy to have the others join me and my wife…) so we did our historical shows for each of the three shows.












Sunday was a similar set up with a VERY good audience. Those who know us know we rank our audience on a 1 to 5 scale. Only 11% of our shows have the dreamed of class 1 crowd, but Sunday was one of those magic days. It was great!













As always, between shows we let folks in the tent to look at swords and ask questions.

It was a 3 day weekend, so Monday we were back with avians of all kinds.


Historical shows again, this time with our family watching, which is extra nice.


















It was a great show and we had a great time!
Thanks to all who made it possible!
