Charity: In addition to the Toys for ToT’s program, we would like to add the option of donating to the regional food bank (Second Harvest) and give people the option to bring a food donation or a toy.

The entry fee for all contests and tournaments is either a new, unwrapped toy or a new, unopened food donation (nothing perishable, please.)

“Toys for Tots Tournaments”

There is traditionally a series of competitions and tournaments held at Octoberfeast to benefit the Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” program.

These contests all have an “entry fee” of one new, unwrapped toy that is then donated to Toys for Tots by the Barony. This is one of the ways we support worthy causes in our community.

The winners of these competitions receive a traveling trophy (each contest has a different item; a sword, a games box, etc) for one year until the next year’s event where they pass on the trophy to the next winners.

While these are not “Champions” and have no Court precedence, they are none-the-less proud representatives of the Baronies finest competitors.

Heavy: Crimthan of Starfyre

Rapier: Baron Þorkell Palsson

Arts and Sciences: (unchallenged in 2023)
