Our First SCA Event: Crown List Tournament Kingdom of Meridies

Through following different costumers and general being on the internet, I have stumbled upon the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA defines itself as "an inclusive community pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat and culture. The lives of participants are enriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events." Also according to their website "the SCA community includes over 30,000 members in 20 kingdoms around the globe. Our participants learn about the arts, skills, and culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance in an atmosphere of fun, through tournaments, royal courts, feasts, dancing, classes, hands-on workshops, and more." I researched my local group, attended a few meetings, and decided that this sounded like a lot of fun!! The 1st event that my husband and I attended was the Spring Crown List Tournament Kingdom Arts and Sciences Competition for the Kingdom of Meridies. Do to our work schedule we were not able to make it to the site for the Arts and Sciences Competition, but I am excited for the next one. We did get to witness a feast, a ball, court, and the crown tournament. We have a wonderful time and decided to become official members.
