Market Fair

[Cordite]

Anybody going to the 18th century Market Fair at Fort Frederick? Open April 25 through April 28 at Fort Frederick. Tons of reenacting stuff and tons of high quality muzzleloaders and stuff for traditional black powder shooters and F&I War buffs. Long-ish drive but only $5 to get in. The campers and sutlers are all in period clothing and they do some re-enacting demos out of the Fort.

I'll be there for at least the first day and am thinking about picking up a new muzzleloader. It is a great show and you can get just about anything you need for your flintlock. Plus there are lots of craftsmen with everything from knives to possibles bags. It's one of my favorite places.

These are the folks that run Market Fair. I usually go, but can't make it this year because of another commitment. It's an interesting trip to say the least, sort of like a temporary shopping mall for the mid to late 1700s.
