Fete de Lune 2019 Results and Photos

Saber fencers

Saber fencers conversing before their event.

This was our second year to host the Fete de Lune, Houston’s longest-running veteran fencing tournament. I think we are starting to get the hang of this!

Once again, we have a lot of people to thank for a successful tournament. Thank you to Nicole Trojanowski for the amazing mixed grand prize sword; to Richard and Maggie White for the delicious and nutritious snacks at the refreshment table; and to our strip sponsors: The Murray Clan, Mr. Bombastic, and a generous fencing family. We would also like to thank the tournament staff and organizers: Matt Cooper, Kirsten Crouse, Michael Mergens, Brian Toffelmire, and Mandy Zhang. Matt and Mandy took photos for us in addition to being all-around helpers, so without them there would be no record of the tournament at all!

We’ve posted the results from the events on AskFred. See below for the age category awards. Scroll down to see our favorite pictures from the Fete de Lune 2019!
