From the Hospitaller Office
In October the Baronial Hospitaller office turns its focus to our biggest demo of the year, Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire. Here is what you need to know!
Greetings,
October is here and we are gearing up for our largest demo of the year, Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Fair ! Nov 2,3,4,10,11th
This is an annual fair supported by Lake county schools. The Barony of Darkwater takes part every year by recreating a period village to offer educational fun to everyone. It’s also a great way to introduce a lot of people to the SCA and what we do. Last year we had over 250 people sign up for more information on what we do and how to get involved throughout the Central Florida area.
The demo consists of a working kitchen, a forge, casting, lampworking, dying, games, fiber arts, home skills, show making and so much more. It’s a great event for people to come out and have fun with friends as well as new people to try so many things! By volunteering and signing up to be a part of the village, you gain entrance into the fair for free.
The Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/2142510999355874/
There you will find the signup sheet so that you may sign up for the days you like and the areas that most interest you.
New to the SCA? This is the perfect event for you. Come on out and try new crafts, enjoy the day with new friends. Gold key can be made available to you so that you can participate.

News from the Knight's Marshal Office
We continue to have two weekly practices in the Barony, one on Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm and one on Sunday afternoons from noon to 3pm. For up to date information please visit the calendar on www.darkwater.org or the facebook group Darkwater Fighters. We have recently accepted Bjorn as the baronial Youth Marshal. We have been pretty consistent getting 1-3 youths at our practices and look to keep that number rising!
Lady of the Lakes is looking for a Marshal to volunteer for Saturday November 10th since the Baronial Marshals have indicated they will be at Crown Lyst that day. If you are interested in helping please let us know at marshal@baronyofdarkwater.org.
The Barony has been requested to build and bring 5 war shields to war this year. If you are interested in helping please let us know at marshal@baronyofdarkwater.org. The plan is to start working on them 10/6.
On 10/19 it is my intention to head to War of the wings where I have confirmed that Munitions grade arms will be there. It is my intention to purchase rattan and bring it back, I will have my van so I can transport full 9' lengths of rattan. If you are interested in getting rattan let me know and we can save you the cost of paying shipping online and they wont ship the 9' lengths.
If there are those in the barony who have 55 gallon plastic barrels they do not need or can get them on the cheap we could use them to help outfit our new fighters in inexpensive armor. Please reach out to us at marshal@baronyofdarkwater.org.
