[MR] Midsummer Twilight Tourney Reminders

[Cassandra]

If you are coming this weekend here are a few last
minute Midsummer Twilight Tourney reminders:

Bring water, sunscreen, shade, straw hats & bug spray.
 

Campers: This is a hay field so an extra heavy ground
cover would not go amiss.

AND...

If you don't have plans this weekend, come out to A
Midsummer's Twilight Tourney!

A Ghost walks at midnight, there’s treachery afoot and
suspicion is in the air. Join the Canton of
Buckston-on-Eno for a tribute to Shakespeare’s Hamlet
around the eve of Midsummer. In this non-traditional
event there will be fighting in the twilight hours, a
feast at mid-day and many activities sure to delight
all ages. 

Martial Activities: There will be Heavy and Rapier
Tournaments in the twilight hours beginning in the
late afternoon. Atlantian heavy fighters will also
have the benefit of an afternoon martial class in
Western Martial Arts. 

Atlantian Cavalry: The Atlantian Cavalry will host a
day of Tournaments at the main event site. 

Youth Fighting: There will be a combat tournament for
all eligible Youth of Atlantia on Saturday beginning
at 11:00am. A class for the Youth will also be held on
Saturday so those Youth and parents that are camping
may attend a Youth Fighter practice on Sunday morning.
 

Artisan’s Row:  To further a day focusing on
participation and activity, artists and artisans are
invited to demonstrate and display their skill and
works.  This is a grand opportunity to share your
knowledge, display your talent, and invite feedback
about your work.  There is no competition on Artisan’s
Row; the prize to be won is the fellowship of those
present appreciating your work, sharing your knowledge
and most especially inspiration.  If you want to teach
a class during your display, you are invited to do so.
 If you want to sit and work and be available to those
who come by, please do this.  We hope to have a wide
range of crafts present, from fiber to metal to paints
and everything else in between.   

A Day for Reveling: As the fighting will not take
place until the late afternoon there will be other
entertainments to capture the attention of those in
attendance. The Atlantian Cavalry will host their
Tournament next to the main fighting field. Dog
Coursing will take place in the morning, music will
delight throughout the day and games of the day will
be played. Our Mistress of the Revels, Maîtresse Ysolt
la Bretonne, will offer delights for the eye and ear.

Feast: A Feast to delight all the senses will be
provided by Irmgart Hasenschlalf. In keeping with the
Midsummer’s tradition the feast will be served at 1:00
p.m. and will feature delights appropriate to the time
of day. All seats are $6.00 regardless of age. 

Site: Farm Ventures, (Pearson County Group Homes) 363
Jerry Dixon Road, Leasburg, NC 27291. The site is dry.
Camping is encouraged. Period pavilions will be place
at the tournament field. Well supervised dogs on leads
are permitted.
