Baroness Christian researched and masterminded a little SCA history quiz. Those present joined together in fun to find the answers.
Each correct answer earned a leaf for the wreath banner - one for every year of the Society. A completed banner, signalling success in the quiz, released the celebratory cakes!

NOTE: This quiz is purely for fun. The stewards take no responsibility for the spelling or accuracy of clues, their sense of whimsy, or their googling skills. Good luck!
The stewards wish to share their thanks with all those who joined us in celebrating the 60th year of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
We hope you enjoyed a fine evening of good company, enjoyable passtimes, and delicious food!
