***************
This is a fair sized show by Maine standards, put on by the "Ancient Ones", a French & Indian War / Buckskinning era living history reenactment group.
It used to be limited to muzzle loaders, primitive crafts and the like, but has since evolved into pretty much a catch - all gun show with all of your "Black rifles" laser sights and such. A certain emphasis is retained, however, on the primitive style and period history.
A lot of Dealers and participants dress the part, and they have a little Indian village set up on the stage where they will coach visitors and kids on the fine art of knife and tomahawk throwing. It's a family oriented show and a lot of fun.
The AOs are a cordial and fun loving bunch, and do living history and educational programs all over the state, as well as have at least one "Rendezvous" out in the willie-whacks a year.
