Iron Oak Demo

Last Saturday (May 17th) I attended a Demo/Parade held by the Incipient Canton of Iron Oak. It was part of the Annual Railroad Days held each year in Durand, MI . I believe 10 or 11 SCA members walked in the parade which was a mile to a mile and ½ in length. This was the first time that Iron Oak participated in the event and hopefully they will attract some members as a result of the parade.

Also in attendance was the Baron and Baroness of Northwoods Odo & Dulcinea, Lady Morgaine the Iron Oak Seneschal, her two daughters and several other Canton members. I must apologize as I had intended to get everyone’s name but discovered on the drive home that I had neglected too.

I put on my best armor including the houndskull faceplate for my Basinet and enjoyed the parade walk. I had to be careful to not run into people or step in pot holes as the vision in the helmet while the houndskull is on is almost none existent.
