EVANSBURG GOT MEDIEVAL
Submitted by Jakob Kub-
ke, Tipple Park Museum
On August 25, 2018, Tipple
Park Museum was transported
back about 650 years. Reenac-
tors set up camp in the park with
authentic medieval tents, tending
to their fire, baking, spinning,
playing music, showing off their
crafts, going about their daily
life, and educating.
A bit further behind them one
could hear the clash of sword
on sword and mace on metal as
the Crimson Blades and Hinton
Ice Eaters, two medieval combat
teams, battled it out. In the com-
bat style they do, the winner is
the last one standing on two feet.
Trust me, they are sane, I prom-
ise! They put on an excellent
fight for the crowd at the park.
One of the fighters from Leduc,
George, was very pleased at the
number of people in attendance,
especially the crowd of kids.
Arrow Tag was next on the
agenda where attendees could
finally shoot each other! After
this the kids filled up the board
room inside the Museum for a
craft session where they got to
make knight helmets, catapults,
and stained glass windows. They
even got to try their hand at me-
dieval calligraphy and learned
about heraldry.
Next was the Grand Feast
wherein the main hall was
packed full of hungry families,
fighters, and reenactors. They
dug into pizza and also some au-
thentic medieval dishes.
To close it all off a medieval
dance was held, and a costume
competition awarded two attend-
ees for Most Historically Accu-
rate (a young princess) and Most
Glamorous (a decked out Pirate).
All of a sudden the museum
was back in 2018 and the Festi-
val over. What a great time! The
museum sends a huge thank you
to the fighters and reenactors and
all the guests who made the event
a great success! Fare thee well!September 4, 2018 Community Voice Page 11
