Pan frying sausage, peppers, potatoes and onions over a wood campfire outside at the Bloody Lake Rendezvous, Wisconsin, USA


Annual Bloody Lake Rendezvous first weekend in May at the Black Hawk Memorial Park in in Woodford, Wisconsin. Reenactors from all over the country come to participate in the many competitions, including tomahawk throwing and marksmanship, and games of the springtime Bloody Lake Rendezvous. Visitors are welcome to walk through the encampment on Saturday and Sunday and ask questions of the reenactors. Some historians spend those cold winter months, setting by the fireplace, making enough crafts to use as trade goods for the supplies or items they will need in the coming year. The leather worker may make an apron the blacksmith can use in his work or the gun maker will create a beautifully, handcrafted rifle in hopes of trading it for a buffalo hide that will keep him warm. The women tat lace, sew shirts and skirts or trade recipes. The pre-1840 encampment is open to public on Saturday and Sunday to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of life 200 years ago.
