This exciting event will take place this year on May 5, 2018 from 9AM till 4PM.
The event is set up as a historical timeline with re-enactor camps spanning the Vikings up through 1800's.
Each group is staffed with individuals that are most enthusiastic about their own special time and place and they’ve gone to great lengths to o ensure that their persona, clothing, gear and equipment are as accurate as possible.
What was it like to live at different times and places in the past. What kind of foods did they eat, how did they make a living and what did they do for fun-and you won’t even need to know Latin to ask.
Demonstrations of historical skills including swordsmanship, blacksmithing, weaving and carpentry, brain-tannin, etc., will take place through-out the day. Special large scale activities will take place at scheduled times at the lower common area and the historic fort. These special activities will include English Renaissance era Morris Dancers, Revolutionary War military drills and mock combat, and Buffalo Soldier horse drills and mounted combat, and 1890’s baseball. Don’t get too close, or you may become a part of the action.
Up at the Historic Park, tour Lupton's Fort and learn about life in 1830’s Colorado. Visit the 1860’s farmhouse or sit down in the 1870's one-room schoolhouse. Visit the fully restored 1850's trapper's cabin featuring all the accoutrements of the fur trade era.
There will be an admission fee of $5.00 per car for the fair. Additionally there may be additional charges for special fundraising activities. Food and drink concessions will be available on site from 11AM till 3PM.
