Site Rules: 

1. Our hosts, Antique Powerland Museum Association (APMA), have year round site rules that will be posted on site. They are common sense items that include:
   1. This site is 65 acres over all and host to powerful outdoor equipment. Please stay off of any equipment and areas of site that are not being used specifically by us for this event.
   2. There is a pond on site. This pond will likely be dry/empty while we are there and is located in an area of the site we won’t occupy, so please steer clear.
   3. The museums and other buildings will not be open for this event. To see them, please visit the Great Oregon Steam Up they host in August each year.
2. Please smoke/vape in the privacy of your camp away from public areas, for the comfort & safety of all. Note: Merchant Row, litst fields, archery/thrown weapons ranges, A&S, Courts, activity areas, and roads are specifically no-smoking areas. Please do not leave smoking remnants anywhere on site.
3. No medical or recreational marijuana of any kind at the event. SCA policy does not allow marijuana or other federally controlled substances at SCA sanctioned events.

******************************************************************************************************

• Newcomers Event FAQ for July Coronation:
  What is the purpose of this event?
  • • This is the second half of two very large annual events to select and crown our next King & Queen. There will be a wonderful Court to say thank you to our current Majesties, Athanasios & Alianora, and welcome our new Royal Highnesses, Morgan & Livia, as well as, tournaments, lots of pageantry, parties in the evenings, merchants, and all sorts of things to see and do. Do not be afraid to ask questions, or to join in – we were all new at one point, too.
  • What do I need to bring?
    • This is a camping event, so unless day-tripping, you will need a tent, bedding, toiletries, etc. Be prepared for heat, dry, direct sun, etc. It is mid summer. There will be ample open camping spots, or ask at the gate where your local group is camped. You will need “garb” – medieval-style clothing, but that can be as simple as a tunic or long dress. Don’t worry about being totally historically accurate at your first few events, find the era that inspires you! Bring a light/flashlight. It is a good idea to have a clean set of clothes for the drive home, too.
  • Do I need to bring food?
    • Yes, you will need to bring your own food and some way to cook it, a cooler, etc. Usually all SCAers have “feast gear” – spoon/knife/bowl/plate/mug or goblet with them at all events because we are a bring-your-own-dishes sort of group.
  • Can I bring my dog?
    • For this event, yes you can. All dogs must be on a leash with a human attached to it! They should be vaccinated for rabies, etc. Please have “doggie bags” to clean up after them.
    • Please note: Disruptive/aggressive dogs will be restricted to your camp or asked to leave.
  • Can I bring my kids?
    • Yes! We love kids. They must be supervised by an adult and there are waivers to sign at the gate. Bring toys, books, games for them for camp time. – even armored tourneys can get boring for little ones. There will be Youth Armored Combat activities (see below for details).
  • Are there other rules I should know about?
    • Yes, there are. All of those will be posted on site when you check in at the gate. Mostly common sense stuff.

  Tell the gate people you are new. They can direct you to our “Chatelaine”, which is our new member officer. Their job is to guide you and help you find your way around in this lovely Society of ours.  Welcome to the SCA!

Accessibility Information

All dogs/cats must be on a leash with a human attached to it! They should be fully vaccinated for rabies, etc.

Please have “doggie bags” to clean up after them and place in trash receptacles.

Disruptive/aggressive dogs/cats will be restricted to your camp or asked to leave.

Site Accessibility:

The site is a community heritage site with 14 museums and many fields. It is adjacent to farmland (hops), industrial use, and a major highway. There is also a set of freight railroad tracks that runs along the Western side (parallel to River Rd.). Freight trains are not on a set schedule so could have a horn at any time.

Open camping will be on lawn (probably dry/dead grass due to season). Few trees and not tall enough for true shade (tents/pavilions will not fit underneath). Lists Fields and Court are on lawn.

There are paved/gravel roads around each field, to restroom, and front of the field to open camping. The paved/gravel access does not extend into the camping area. Portions of the site do have low to moderate inclines. Please be prepared for lumpy and rough dry grass related terrain. “Open” camping not specifically labeled as the ‘Accessible Camping Area’ is on the other side of a set of railroad tracks. These tracks are easy to drive over in vehicle or golf cart. Please come prepared to travel over the bumpiness of those tracks if heading to open camping or the Archery/Thrown Weapons range.

There will be a charging station emergency access and requested ADA accommodation only.

There are limited restroom facilities available with ADA stalls. These are approx. 200 yards from main area. There will be porta-potties w/ADA units near camping, lists field, merchants row.

There will be some Accessible parking adjacent to gate area – must have plates/placard and owner info tags (get at Gate) visible in windshield. No vehicles will be allowed to stay in camp areas.

Parking for non-accessible vehicles and trailers will be in an open field approx. 500 yards from main camp. It is primitive mown-field terrain and there is a sloping gravel drive to walk back up.

Vehicles will be allowed to drive through site for drop off and pick up.

Please note: There will be a small gathering on Saturday in an unrelated area for another group. Please be respectful and distant while they have their picnic. We have invited them to approach gate should they be curious about our activities. Please be prepared to welcome and even chaperone for brief tours or Q&A as needed. If you would like to commit as a volunteer for this, please sign up at volunteer’s point. 

If you have further questions about site accessibility please contact the Land Steward.

********************************************************************************************************

Waterbearing:

Please be aware – In our efforts to be more environmentally conscious we will NOT be “waterbearing” as it has been done in the past. But we do know how important hydration is, therefore there will be a self-serve water station. This Water Point will be open and staffed during all tournaments. The fighters come to it, we do not go to them as in the past.

There will be plentiful, fresh water to drink. There will also be misters set up to cool down and refresh.

We highly encourage all fighters (or everyone really) to bring their own reusable water bottles and mugs.
