As usual the ship arrived on time, circled below the waiting crowd on the bluff firing off a signal shot as she turned and creating a magical start to the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>When we ran out of cannon powder Mike Bell fired off his musket to start the evening&#8217;s festivities. The rain held off until the end of the day on Saturday with well over thirteen hundred visitors in the park.<\/p>\n<p>The cannon firing, musketry, and armor demonstrations were a great hit with the park visitors who also participated in the Militia&#8217;s reenactment of a 17th century trial. After the rain on Saturday night, Sunday turned out to be a perfect day as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Blackburn and Paul Carter set up a period tent in the fort with pennants flying off the top and Lara Brooks cooked great food for the Militia on both days.\u00a0 Mathias Brooks donned a full suit of armor for the first time and took a promenade around the park with his own personal bodyguard. Huzzah to the many members of the Henricus Militia who helped make the weekend a great success.<\/p>\n<p>The excellent event photos presented here were taken by Jim Byrd and we thank him. There are many more to come as well.<\/p>\n<p>To view more photos from the Publick Days 2013 event visit our <a title=\"The Henricus Citie Militia Photo Gallery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.henricusmilitia.com\/gallery2\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">image gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We enjoyed great weather on Friday evening for the Henricus Militia&#8217;s cannon firing upon the occasion of the arrival of the Godspeed from Jamestown.
