Medieval Night at 1979 MDA Camp Hastings

This summer it will be 35 years since the 1979 camp at Hastings, so it's about time I got some pictures up. A one-of-a-kind event that year was Medieval Night, where we all had dinner out in an open field while being entertained by jesters, jousters, music, dance, and various other goings on. It was quite an ambitious undertaking, for someone had to shlep all that food and drink out there, and someone had to schlep back what was left. If it's not too late, one last kudos to the staff on a great event.
