FOAMHENGE LIVING HISTORY PROJECT.
AT NATURAL BRIDGE VIRGINIA

Everything is still in the Beginning works for this project so we are still gathering interested people to become part of it.
It works on a "SELF EMPLOYMENT" bases for those who want to gain from this so there are no paid positions at this time
but maybe down the road there will be, it all depends on what you want.
It will be set up as a Multi Cultural Medieval world. We are planning on Viking encampments ( The Vikings of the Valley have committed to this )
maybe a Norman and Saxon camp or later period .Persian, English, Irish ect. Basically whom ever wants to set up an Area.
Take also into consideration on first come first serve. This means since we have a VIKING encampment we will not have another. Choose your timeline
and let me know, and I will let you know if that conflicts with another timeline or Culture. If you want that culture or timeline then you must camp Next to the same timeline or culture
and your jurisdiction will fall under whom ever was there first.
Allotments will be as follows. When we get out base groups ready, we will go to Foamhenge ( This is a very large area but I don't have details on exactly how big, Lets just say
3 football fields wide and 10 to 12 long. with a full sized replica of Stonehenge on the high hill at the center. This is just the cleared areas,Im not sure of the wooded areas
surrounding the area.
Each group will get an allotment. They will be required to maintain it and Build on it. semi permanent or permanent structures only which means canvass and wood or both.
The groups will than have the rights to the following.
1. At events merchant " Period Only " crafts or stuff from their area for free.
2. Attend all Events at foamhenge for free.
3. Hold any event for themselves ( as long as no conflicts with others ) for free.
4. Hopefully ( not sure yet ) get discounts on the other natural bridge things.
5. Be part of the magic.
This project will hopefully be fun and what re-enactor does not want this type of a chance to do something like this ? I know im Hyped about it.
As for interaction with you fellow People?
THIS IS NOT AN ACTING JOB. It is a Living History Project. Yes you can do your own skits within your areas and yes for demonstrations in demo areas.
But this is not going to be "RENNY" nor " SCAdian"only game . just think Trade route and how it would be back then.
Royalty?
There will be NO KINGS AND QUEENS. Each Group may have at Highest Rank a Baron or likewise. Knights will be determined by each area.
At each event the hosting group will be in charge of the Main areas ( Areas outside the other encampments ) and run the show. Any Questions about
Official things on the site will fall to the SITE DUKE. This will be an Official from Natural Bridge.
We Hope this will be open from April to October for the general public and all year round for the use of our Participants.
( THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THIS DEPENDS ON US, IF IT IS SOMETHING YOU AND YOUR GROUP ARE INTERESTED IN THEN WE EXPECT FULL
HEARTED COOPERATION )

So this is the next step. Write me back on your Interest yes or no. Send me how many People in your group are committed and what your plans would be for your area.
This would include.
Time line
Artisans
Demos Names of your Officials
As much Information as you think we might need To much info is not enough info.
I think this will cover the basics for now.
Thank you again and I hope to hear from you soon.
