Meal Information
Barbequed meat will be provided by the Barony and prepared by our most excellent, dynamic, BBQ duo: Thangbrandr Sløngvandbaugi and Hans “Moose” Dalheim .
Elisabeth de Rossignol will coordinate the potluck (for side dishes, desserts, etc.) — watch for the sign-up sheet in mid-February. Please label your potluck dish with the ingredients, so that people with food intolerances / allergies can make informed choices. And bring a serving utensil! As with all SCA food events, remember to bring your own “feast kit” (plate, bowl, cup, and utensils).
Tournament Information
Youth and Family Activities
11 am Dragon Egg decorating competition: Unlike chicken eggs, dragon eggs are made of wood — paint them during the event and take them home as a keepsake.
12 pm Dragon Egg hunt: What young person doesn’t love a spring egg hunt?
TBA Kids’ fashion show: a medieval-themed fashion show!
2 pm Youth Armored Combat: There will be pick-up fights and, hopefully (if we have enough participants) a tournament. Perhaps even group combat? Loaner gear will be available for youth (ages 6–17) who want to try this out for the first time. A parent or guardian must be present when your youth is fighting.
Is this your first time attending an SCA event with a minor (ages 17 and under)? Please fill out a waiver in advance and bring/send it with your child or teen! Click here for more information, or a get a direct link to the form.
