3 of us from Sentinels' Keep attended this conference when it was held in
Missoula, and it proved to be quite interesting.  (We went in garb, since
that seemed appropriate to us.)  Then, at the end of the conference, our
Barony put on a fighting demo for the attendees.  The theme of yours sounds
like it would fit well with SCA topics, as well.  Do check it out!  I
recommend it!
