I was surprised that I never saw this on the Merry Rose.  It sounds like
a lot of fun....




The Dream-Part I
Counting Sheep
Caer Adamant-Port Deposit, Maryland
May 11-13, 2001


Come join the Shire of Caer Adamant as we pay homage to the original (in
our opinion) Scadian, Don Quixote del la Mancha, by invading the
neighboring Kingdom of Atlantia.   The Southern Region of the East has
long endured Spring border raids from Atlantia, and this year we invade
to reclaim disputed livestock...  specifically sheep. 


 As with any good border skirmish, there will be events of marshal
skill, in the form of a  grand melee with a castle battle, a field
battle, and a woods battle.  Not to mention both archery and fencing war
points.  In the interest of including one and all, there will also  be 2
Arts and Science War points, a Bardic "Talent Show" and a "Rattan Chef"
cook-off.  Pre-registration for the cook-off is required.  Other
activities include a  Medieval Equestrian demo, a championship tourney
(to determine the "Don"), a Siege Weapon display and shoot-off, numerous
arts and science classes and workshops and in keeping with the precedent
set by our current Queen, a judged arts and sciences display.  Bring
your finished and in progress works.  Not to mention an open buffet
style feast.


Rules for the competitions:
For all war points you must declare which side you are competing for
when you sign in at troll.  Fighters must also declare at the Marshals
pavillion.


1.The cook off (war point)- you must be pre registered and provide to
the autocrats a  list of needs, not to include the food, that you will
need to prepare or finish the recipe.  You will need to be able to
provide enough food for one course for 15 people.  The items must be
documented and will be blind judged by the high table.  No more than 3
people to a team.


2.  The Bardic Talent Show (war point)- You must register for this
competition at troll.  The judging will be done by the by the crowd
throughout the day.  Scoring will be done by collecting beans from the
crowd.  The more you wander about singing, playing , story telling,
juggling or performing in any other way the better your chances of you
receiving more beans.  The crowd can vote as many times as they like.
50 beans will be given to each person at the event.  The top 3
contenders will have a "Battle of the Bands" at feast to determine the
winner.


3.  Marshaled War points- This includes Heavy weapons, fencing, and
archery.  The rules for these events will be posted at the event and
will be judged by the attending marshals. 


4.  Other Marshaled events- This includes all other heavy weapons
battles, the siege weapon shoot-off, other fencing and archery.  Rules
will vary and be judged by the attending marshals.  Some may include
prizes.


 5.  Judged Arts and Sciences display- This will be judged by any and
all attending nobility based on the criteria of "best of show" and "most
authentic method."


6.  The Shinning honor of the title "Defenders of the Dream" will be
awarded to a group of 3 people.  The victor of the Championship list,
the gentle that they fight for, and the person found to be the
embodiment of the spirit of the SCA. 


7.  All of those with an intrest in participating in the Equestrian
portion of the day, MUST  contact the Autocrat first, and are subject to
the approval of the Eguestrian Marshal.


There will be other games and adventures going on, including the
legendary "thieves wood."


The site is Page's Farm in Port Deposit , Maryland.  The site opens at
Noon on Friday the 11th and closes promptly at 8pm on Sunday the 13th.
The fee for the weekend is $8 pre- registered and $10 at the door, and
includes a day board on Saturday.  Day Fee is $4.  Children under 5 are
free, under 12 is half price.  Pre registration is strongly recommended
for the Feast (cost is $9) as spaces are very limited.  Pre registration
cut off is May 1st, 2001.

Directions:
Make your best route to I-95 north or south and proceed to exit 93 Port
Deposit / Perryville to 222 north.  This would be a right hand turn off
both the north and south bound exits.  Continue straight on 222 north to
the 275 north intersection.  Continue north (straight on)on 275 (as 222
turns left into Port Deposit) until it comes to a "T" intersection with
Rt.  276, this is about 2.2 miles from the 95 exit.  Make a right onto
276 and continue about 1.4 miles.  The site will be well marked on the
left.  If you see Toko Tires on the left you have gone too far.  Turn
around and come back to the first driveway on the same side of the road
as the tire shop.  The rout from I-95 will b marked from both exits, and
at each intersection.  The entrance to the site will be marked with both
the Shire of Caer Adamant banner and the Barony of Bright Hills banner.
