The Casco Public Library is holding a free Medieval Day on Sunday, May 20 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the library. There will be an afternoon of medieval activities including armored combat, music and dance, crafts, food, and games. The free event is for all ages. Participation is welcome, but garb not required.

Presented by the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., which is a nonprofit educational organization devoted to the study of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Most of its activities take place in the context of a social structure adapted from the forms of the European Middle Ages, which allows participants to take a first-hand look at various aspects of the life, culture and technology of the times under study. It is part of the living history movement, which means that members try to reproduce various aspects of the culture and technology of their period, as well as doing more traditional historical research.
