Getting Revved up for Old Fort MacArthur Days 2009

[Jamaica Rose]

There will be lots of buccaneers and rovers at the Old Fort MacArthur Days this year.

Both the Rogue Privateers and the Port Royal Privateers will be there setting up camp.

Cap'n Michael, myself, and our furry crew will be setting up with the Rogue Privateers (in fact, Cap'n Michael is the Captain for the event). We'll be encamped next to the Winged Hussars, so shouldn't be hard to find.

The Rogue Privateers will have plenty of artillery present. So lots of excitement.

For the youngun's we'll have a spar set up for them to explore, and feel what it was like to climb out on the yard, on the footropes, and reef the sail. We'll also have period games for young and old to try their hand at. And lots of critters (goats, chickens, and our ship's rats).

We'll be raiding other sutlers (some surprises planned), and then auctioning off what plunder we gather, all to benefit the Old Fort MacArthur Museum.

This year, there is some construction in the area, so less parking lots then usual. If you plan to come, it'll be a good idea to arrive early so you don't have to walk from miles away. Carpool if possible.

This is not an event where spectators come in garb, but if you'd like to encamp with the Rogue Privateers and hang out with the sea rovers with a historically accurate emphasis, there is still time to sign the articles. Just send Dan, aka Duncan MacGregor, a signal at: DMBOTC@aol.com
