Press Release Body = Ashville, Ohio March 25 2006 - The Lost Vikings Hoard will once
again be sponsoring The Ashville Viking Festival. This year's festival will see the

will sail on the Scioto River north of the O\'Shaunessy Dam on Friday April 28th, the
day before the festival. The ship will then be taken to the Ashville Village Park
for the two day festival.
The festival while first and foremost is a Viking Reenactment; it has expanded into
the largest timeline event in the area. Re-enactors include Viking, Roman, 15th

Re-enactor coordinator Ed Vallette stated "This is hands on history. You learn so
much more when you see it right before you, when you are an active part."
The festival is open to the public, starting each day at 10AM and running until 5PM.
It is free to the public. Canned food donations to the Ashville Food pantry will be
accepted.
