Mini GTG at the Mackinaw Rendezvous

Postby Colliemom » Tue Aug 13, 2013 3:32 pm

Louise (Havingfunnow) and I had a mini GTG on Saturday, August 3rd at the Mackinaw Rendezvous and 18th Century Trade show. Really enjoy Louise's company and we both enjoyed the activities going on that day.

Some of the traders encampment:

The Reenacters are dressed for the period and very authentic both in their dress and their actions

I couldn't help but think about how one period in time and another came together in this picture. A fur trader talking of the fur trading era while the Museum ship Icebreak Mackinaw sits in the background

In the afternoon, there was a raid in some of the stores on the main drag with plelnty of gunfire and smoke. Muzzle loaders were used, but of course duds and fired in the air for safety's sake. The Indian Militia chased the perpretrators through the Mackinaw Crossings mall area. Stores were looted and prisoners taken.
