Join us for the first ever Terror in the Tulips Tournament

awarded in Heavy Armored Combat, Rapier, Archery, Thrown Weapons,

prizes in Youth Armored Combat, Arts & Sciences, and

event!

Hearts” (Duchess Angharad & Mistress Arias) will be
hosting a T-Tunic competition/fashion show. The categories
are Terrible/Tacky T-Tunics (using your worst or craziest fabrics,
etc) and Fabulously Fantastic T-Tunics (wow us!). We reserve
the right to give special recognition to those who make us
speechless with their entry (good or bad).
And, did we mention the frying pan toss? We are having one
of those too! Watch here for more information on activities and
rules.
On Sunday, watch or participate as the best of the best compete
in the Emprise of the Sable Rose. Try your skills in Fine
Rapier combat, Exciting Equestrian challenges, Heavy Armored Pas
d’Arms!
