Got another batch of images, time to share.
First we have the entrance to our camp, we brought 11 tents ranging from 2 person knights tents to a field hospital, field cathedral as well as a shelter tent and a covered dining area.
Prepping food for the camp, feeding 55 reenactors three meals a day cost the organizers just close to $2500 the woman in the right foreground is my wife Sara
Rear section of the last procession, in shackles are the former bishop, accused of accepting bribes, now on the way to gather evidence, this little twist managed to really throw the relic pedlars of balance in the usual show.
The avantgarde of the procession, Templars in front.
Saying grace at the table, grace was comprised of one word: Bacon!

Yours truly at a quiet moment about thirty minutes into the first shift at the market gates, the audience waiting to get in was kind enough to give way for an image. Note that while being in field kit, I wear no maille in teh entrance due to my suit not being ready in time for the fair, or I would have worn a maille hauberk as well as a ventailed coif.
Truly a fall from grace, the former bishop before being delt a thrashing by a knight of St John
The new bishop being suited up for his first procession. Also learning about where to get bribes such as mead sellars as well as relic swindlers. My wife is standing in white and grey to his left.
My two sons, Christian aged 5 in black in front and Harald age 3 in the background wearing his rangers tunic and feathered hat. Christian will start to learn the use of sword for real when he reaches 7. both kids loved this their first market, and they bravely soldiered on through rain, and almost freezing nights.
