Through the Woods aka Spring Thynge – May 9th, 2015

Through the Woods on May 9th, 2015
Hosted by Shire of Caer Adamant

Updated as of 5/5/15 8:32am

Brigands have broken into the Royal Menagerie in an attempt to steal the animals!

A call goes out to all Archers to come and stop the Brigands, and to protect the local populace from the more dangerous of the animals. Due to the seriousness of this threat, there is also a call for thrown weapons specialists and armored fighters.

Come join us for a spirited day of fun!

Throughout the day the roving range will be open for the archery tournament with prizes awarded during the evening feast! We will also have a range for Royal rounds, and would be appreciative of anyone who would like to volunteer a few hours to assist with Marshalling.

The thrown weapons field will be available throughout the day for all levels of skill and will also have a tournament with prizes to be presented at the evening potluck feast.

Armored combat will feature a two handed sword tournament with prizes! (Any sword able to be wielded two handed)

Swamp Sale!

Bring your gently used garb, feast gear or other SCA related items to sell and never look at them again! The Shire will help you declutter those outgrown gowns, those plates you replaced with newer, those do-dads and thingy-ma-bobs that you aren’t using but that someone else might love… Bring your items to Lady Mairi and she’ll do the rest; you’ll get 50% of the final sale price for your items and the rest will go towards future Shire endeavors. We’ll have a hanging rack for clothes, and a table for the assorted sundry items. Monies will be tracked and distributed at 3:oo pm when the sale closes. Have questions? Email us!

Refreshments!

An amazing dayboard will be prepared by “The Cross and the Crescent” camp kitchen duo.

The evening feast will be a pot luck with bread and meat provided by The Shire.

Please bring a side dish or a desert to contribute to the Pot Luck Feast. You are responsible for keeping hot foods hot, and cold foods cold.
