Need a little extra space for your project or sewing advice/lesson? Come join the Baroness of North Woods in her home canton! This is a social gathering of men and women who wish to make garb (aka medieval clothing) or just work on a project with the group. It costs about $20.00 US to make a 'basic medieval' outfit. More formal and elaborate garb such as court garb costs more. This group also is charged by the Canton to make the Canton's banner signage or other major projects. Bring your project or just come to Gab. For more information, come to a business meeting or contact our Seneschal. Children are welcome at the meetings.

One of the most interesting parts of the SCA are "events", our word for the times when we put on our medieval clothing, go out and dance those dances we've been practicing, flirt, eat, talk, and generally have a good time.
Events are held almost every weekend of the year somewhere; some weekends there may be as many as a couple dozen events scattered around the SCA. Listed above are our canton events and those others canton members plan to attend.
There are many different kinds of events, and the common pattern varies from place to place and season to season. The events are the most fun to most folk, because there we are recreating the "current medieval ages."
At large events there are often tournaments, art exhibits or competitions, classes on all manner of medieval skills, workshops, and at many events a Royal or Baronial Court, followed by a medieval feast and sometimes dancing. Smaller events focus on one or two areas such as a Winter Revel or 12th Night celebration that brings folks together with generally a little music, dancing, a feast and lots of time to flirt, eat, talk, and generally have a good time.
Events require at least an attempt of Medieval dress or "garb" for participation. If you are in our area and do not have medieval clothing, please contact the members of Wealdlake to either borrow "garb" or information on how to make quick and easy "garb".

Similar to an event, in that we put on our medieval clothing, but now we show the best the SCA has to offer to the general public. Medieval dress is not required to participate. Contact our Seneschal (mailto:wealdlake.seneschal@midrealm.org) if your school, group or organization is interested in having us provide a demo. We have provided demos for elementary classrooms, boy scout events, library enrichment classes and local events (such as the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest). See the Balloonfest demos list for what we demonstrated from the "current middle ages" to the guests of the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. Click this button for the Balloonfest demos list
