 BATTLING KNIGHTS — Two Knights do battle on Saturday afternoon at a meeting of the Society for Creative Anachronism in the Swimming Pool Park. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
If you happened to be in the neighborhood of the Conrad Lions Swimming Pool Park on Saturday afternoon, you couldn’t help but miss seeing Prince Valiant and Maid Marian.
Members of The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), which is an international organization dedicated to re-searching and recreating the arts and skills of pre-17th Century Europe took control of a part of the park.
Their “Known World” consists of 19 Kingdoms and over 30,000 members. Saturday there were players from Great Falls and other parts of Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Washington as well as some from Canada.

At the Wednesday morning business meeting, commissioners, on a 3-0 vote approved a request for a temporary bridge crossing.
The Montana Alberta Tie Line (MATL) is in the process of constructing a transmission line from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada to Great Falls.
The right-of-way for this line crosses Wingina Road near Bullhead Road in Valier.
The only access to a small portion of this project is between two separate culvert bridges both posted with 10 ton limits.
The project is to set up a temporary bridge structure that will span over one of the existing 10 ton limit culvert bridges in order to gain the needed access.
Once construction activity for this section of the transmission line is complete, the temporary bridge will be removed and Wingina Road will be restored to its pre-project condition.
Signs alerting the public will be placed north and south of the bridge. The heaviest vehicle using the temporary bridge is about 150,000 pounds.
The bridge will be installed on or about May 14 and removed on or around May 28.
