Three Baron's Fair Demo A Success

The Barony of Eskalya, Oertha--The demonstration by the Principality of Oertha at the local Renaissance Fair was quite a success this year; garnering interest from countless people across the land. With many volunteers, things to see, and moments of high chivalry; the Principality was in full force at the Three Baron's Renaissance Faire.

The Three Barons Renaissance Faire has been staple in Oertha for over twenty years. The various groups, especially the Barony of Eskalya and in recent years a good showing from the Barony of Selviergard, have used this venue to showcase the Society at large and attract possible newcomers to the Principality and the Society as a whole.

The demonstration, this year headed by Lady Celestria Textrix, featured a plethora of arts and sciences that members of the local groups graciously lent for display. These exhibits garnered keen interest from many people, especially Baron Rodrigo de Reinosa's ballista which was a huge draw for young and old alike. But the big draw for many was the fighting.
