 Saturday, August 12, 2003: Time for the annual Crow Wing Viking Festival in Brainerd.  |
|
About 1000 peopls showed up for the
event. |
 |
|
It was living like a Viking for a day. |
 |
|
They gathering around a camp fire. What's for lunch? |
 |
 |
   |
|
Stories were told about the old days. |
 |
|
Then the signal came. It was time to gather around the
battlefield. |
    |
|
The winner prevailed over the dead on the field. |
   |
|
Young and old alike were amazed at the horsemanship. |
 |
 |
|
Minnesota author William C. Carpenter read from his epic poem
about the 878 AD struggle between West Saxons in England and the invading Danish Vikings. |
 |
|
Guys grow beards at a young age nowadays. |
  |
   |
|
A girl and her horse. |
 |
|
Then, another battle started! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The victors walked off the field.
|
  |
|
Vikings lived to have another festival next year.
|
Quote of the day:
What a show! Mark |
