Capt Thighbiter Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 The Mid-Hudson Mayfaire will be held on May 13 and 14 at the Ulster County Fair Ground, in New Paltz NY. This is a first year fair held to benefit the Queens Galley, a non-proffit food kitchen and nourishment awareness organization. If you are in serious need of some Faire early in the Northeast season, come on by! The faire will have a pirate flavor since they have my group , The Brigands, and two other pirate based groups as part of the entertainment. And, we we will doing a black powder cannon demonstration times daily. http://queensgalley.org http://thebrigands.com Rob't Thighbiter Hellion 48' 023" 125' 49" Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkyns Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Kathryn and I will be there on Saturday. Is the black powder limited or can I bring my matchlock and play, too? If you need, I've been a cannoneer for 20 plus years and am master gunner for a couple of groups. Be glad to help. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Capt Thighbiter Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Make that definately 4 cannon. Just made it speak for the first time last nite. I think you will enjoy looking and working this one Hawyns, it appears to be a very well made bronze tube, 30" x 1.650 bore. I susspect it is a lot older then the carriage.
