The Chinook Honey Company was taken over this weekend by the Vikings of Vinland.

The group is a live action group that demonstrates the history of the Vikings.

Warren Cummins is apart of the group and says that their mandate is to educate the public the best way they can.  

"Our goal is to help teach the public around the mead that is brewed here because Vikings were big drinkers and makers of it."

The way that the group educates is threw interaction with the public.

The group also does battle displays at the event as a way to teach the public.

"We want to educate people with the best information that we have available to us," Cummins says.

Those who participate have a skill or a craft that they can teach those who come and see about.

Cummins says that his favourite part is his craft.

"Is the wood carving and wood working that I am demonstrating here today."
