On May 11th, 12th and 13th the VOA is hosting our venturing “Back to Medieval Days” at Camp Acahela. You don’t want to miss this one! .
This year we are really venturing back to medieval days by making swords, shields, tunics, Dutch oven desserts and much, much more. Better yet, not only will we be making these objects, but we will be putting them into action when we have sword fights, medieval battles, battle scenarios and even a tournament at the end of the day on Saturday. There will be a medieval dinner, where all participants are encouraged to dress up in medieval costumes, followed by a Dutch oven dessert contest, campfire, movies, puzzles, and a cracker barrel.
Making this event come to life is a master in blacksmithing, and fighting techniques, Joe Pelia. Joe has been in blacksmithing for 33 years and has been involved with medieval reacting for over 31 years. You can see some of Joe's work on page 49 of the book, “Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction” by Brian Price.
Joe is also involved in movies. He made armor and weapons that were used in some films, including making all the weapons and armor for the “Legend of Zelda Trailer”. If you are familiar with Zelda, you may know about the Masters Sword.
To participate in a weekend of fun and excitement you may register by April 30th for the low price of $30.00. Any registrants after April 30th can come for still a low price $35.00. Cutoff date is May 4th, and there is a cap to the event of 100 people. To register your crew today you can email
