Moose Lodge Demo - Oct. 5, 2002
As part of our community interactions, Mag Mor often does demonstrations
for public viewing. This year, the folks from the local Moose Lodge asked
us to help put on a mini Renaissance Festival. Though the attendance was limited,
our folks and those who attended to see us had a great time. The weather was
great and the fighting much fun. The audience enjoyed our one-on-one type
of demonstrations and displays of arts and sciences and our court was a big
hit.
