 BATTLE ON THE GREEN
"This Means War!" European Medieval Arts of Arms For everyone who enjoys the history of the sword. For everyone who enjoys the Martial Arts. For everyone who loves the sound of steel on steel. Those brave knights are back again, to risk life and limb for honor and glory. They, who have thrilled us year after year, risking injury and sore muscles to give you a taste of days gone by. Come and enjoy. Come and learn. Come and cheer on the fighters as they pay homage to and show their admiration for the warriors of ancient days who fought with courage, skill, and a good piece of steel. You'll find them just inside the entrance. Just follow the sound of steel on steel.To find more about EMAA, go to their website. www.emaaknights.com
 Barrowburn prides itself in its versatility. They are equally at home ripping through a set of jigs or reels as they are rendering the simple beauty of a slow air or lament. They perform both legacy and contemporary ballads from the tradition as well as comical pub songs that are best accompanied by a swinging pint of Guinness. In concert, they demonstrate their love for Celtic music, but do so from an American perspective. You can find out more about Barrowburn at
