[Regia-NA] New England Living History?

[Sudden Service #5]

Hej! Bill,
    I thought they were doing more of the Faire types of thing, I knew I had
seen postings for activities & know merchants who are selling at them.  I am
glad they are doing a good job of not becoming a fantasy faire, like King
Richards is.
Pax,
Olaf
