The person in charge of living history interpretation at Williamsburg, once called this event the most authentic 18th century street fair he had ever seen.
The NWD's function is to field and a company of local militia and perform opening and closing ceremonies each day, as well as a tactical demonstration and a music demonstration each day. This allows for plenty of time to peruse the merchants and enjoy the victuals offered at the various food vendors. In addition, there is lots of free period entertainment, including jugglers, musicians and magicians (Once they even had a museum of exotic curiosities).
This event is a major source of income for the NWD and we are paid based on the number of folks (men at arms) we field, so please come out and support the NWD while you have a good time.
This next year, in deference to the bicentennial of the War of 1812, they have asked that if you have appropriate clothing for that period, please wear it. Of course, your regular kit will work, and this will not be an issue for us.
In the past, we have been asked to register VERY early for this event, so I ask that when you receive the information to register, that you do it, if there is ANY chance you will attend.
Google the Fair at New Boston or go to Fairatnewboston.org to see photos of the event and site. I know you will have a good time when you attend.
The event coordinator is Joe Forte.
