The Barony of Namron was created as a result of an S.C.A. demonstration at the first Medieval Faire. We have returned the favor every year. The Barony coordinates an S.C.A. demo at Medieval Faire each year. Other nearby S.C.A. branches, our good neighbors, join in to make it happen. Other S.C.A. people travel from farther away simply to take part in this demo.
We wish to invite you to join us in Namron in April. Last year one third of one million people flowed through the Faire. That is a lot of people. The S.C.A. supplies about 150 to 200 people to man our corner of the Faire. We have fighting, arts & science displays, hands-on crafting, music, dancing, trebuchets, and just about anything else you can think of. And we need to cover three whole days.
Remember that this is a demo. We are in the public's eye and interacting with them. The fighters actually get to ham it up for an appreciative audience. Artists can talk about technique to people who have not already heard it a thousand times. Small children and full grown adults go away from this Faire with gleams in their eyes, recalling the examples we set by our chivalry.
Please let us know if there is something you wish to do. Or just show up and pitch in. There are some work days beforehand to get things repainted and restitched, or create the occasional new item.
Our S.C.A. liaison to the Faire is Lord Wolfgang von Sachsenhausen, who can answer or find answers to any of your questions. He will gladly welcome suggestions and take any volunteers he can get. His e-mail is wolfgangvonsachsenhausen@yahoo.com and his phone number is 405-360-4150 .
The S.C.A. tries to get there by 9 a.m. for set up and settle in. A large parking lot surrounding the Lloyd Noble Center is about a quarter of a mile south of the Faire. A very limited number of parking passes are sometimes available (contact our liaison).
