I have not posted many re-enacting pictures this year. Here are some pictures from Queen Victoria's Birthday celebration in May. It was very common that everyone celebrated the Queen's birthday. Most of the laborers were given a day off and had a big party and dance. So, this event displays much of the entertainment forms of the 19th century. Dancing, music, croquet, games, singing etc.

Last weekend was Candlelight Tour, our first person re-enactment event. As I said in a recent post, I was not able to attend the first evening due to illness, but was very happy to be there on Saturday! It was a great time like every year! Hannah re-enacted at this event for the first time and did a wonderful job!
