Terrance Welch, left, of Mechanic Falls finishes off James Ruby of Auburn in a friendly battle Sunday at Chestnut Park in Auburn. The two, part of a group called Dreadmire Forest, get together every other Sunday to fight with padded weapons. “Anything that is unsafe or will leave a bruise is not allowed,” Welch says. Those interested in joining can show up or get in touch with the group through Facebook. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
