<br><small>Flier from that first event</small>

The First Amtgard event was held on 12 February 1983.  Sources differ on how many people were there, [[Nashomi]]'s [[First Three Years]] page credits the event with 40 people being there, however, [[Tawnee Darkfalcon]] was quoted in an interview with [[House Lionesse]] as saying "[[Joella Starwatcher]] (Mandy Burgin), [[Ward Truestory]] (Monica Livingston), and [[Tawnee Darkfalcon]] (Michele Ellington) were born in a small strip park in East El Paso. [[Peter Le Grue]] (James Harren) was the only other person there--although that first day of Amtgard has become rather like Woodstock."

However, it was from this small day of swinging a [[short sword]] and a small [[ax]] with a mostly photocopied [[Dagohir]] rulebook, that Amtgard was born.
