Cleared out an additional 15 foot swath of forest for more tents, and did general clean up. The guys are getting their armour ready and we have purchased some new weapons to try out! The imfamous "Bec de Corbin", it is one mean weapon! We did a field test on a truck fender and it punched right through it like a hot knife through butter! Ouch! Found out we will have some "out of state" visitors coming one of the weekends! Huzzah! Glad we made more room available for them. Look for a mention of Canis Bellum on the Greater St. Louis Rennaisance Fair Web Site and in addition, we should have a half page ad in the fair program. See you at the fair!

Cleaned the fighting aeric and made more rail fencing to the west, now patrons can view us on 3 sides. Framed up the armourer's shack and need to put sides up. We are in the process of purchasing 3 medieval tents and more equipment for the camp. Still looking for interested individuals to come out and join in the fun. Should be a great season! See you at the faire!

We'll be expanding the tent area, and moving one of the "hovels" over to our side of the encampment. We will jhave "new" neighbors this year. The "German Guild" will be encamped right next to us. They are in the process of building a tower! Should be quite a sight to behold! The Free Company is still looking for additional camp help, (see our last page for what we need) So, if you are interested, please contact us if you want to come out and have alot of fun! See you at the faire!

The highlight of course was filming an episode of "The Hunted", his internet series. He said it should be up in about a month. Look for it on his website, www.robertchapin.com. Click on "The Hunted" and look for the newest video. You may see Randolf and Kazimir, unless they got edited out! See you at the faire!
