October 9th and 10th - Culture in Contact

[michaelsbagley]

While not specifically a pirate event, it is an event that does focus on later 17th century re-enacting, and a great way to expand ones re-enacting horizons (if one is interested in that).

Anyways, this will be the fourth year of this event. It normally takes place in Dayton Ohio at the Sunwatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park, but for this year only has been moved to a private location in central Ohio. The event will be moving back to it's original location for 2011 (or be canceled), but we wanted to keep the continuity going and not skip a year so we moved the event to a private location for this year only.

For details, see this web page. The event centers around a hypothetical meeting of the four dominant forces of the New World (Native, French, Dutch, and English) coming into contact in a trading scenario. It is a great time, and a wonderful opportunity to re-enact in a late 17th century context that isn't nautical based.
