Blancoans will be seeing and hearing some unfamiliar sights and sounds on Saturday afternoon; but fear not, it’s just the third annual Blanco Founders Day.

“There are a lot of things going on throughout the day, but one of the new groups we have coming in is Texas Armored Combat, which does live reenactments of medieval battles,” said event organizer Amy Arnold. “They’re going to do a demo battle every 30 minutes from 2-5 p.m. Everyone is excited about seeing a bunch of guys dressed up as knights and using swords. The demo includes history and education.”

She said the group is trying to start a chapter in the Hill Country.
