Greetings!

The Barony of Highland Foorde looks forward to seeing many of you at our Highland River Melees this coming weekend - June 8-10!  

Some updates of interest:

There have been rumors that combat scenarios will require participants to be clothed in Crusader or Sarcen costume.  This IS NOT TRUE!  The theme of our event includes a focus on those events and cultures but all are welcome to come and participate in all aspects of the event, meeting only Society and Kingdom stardards for dress and martial sports.

The schedule for some of the major activities is as follows:
Site opens: June 8 - 4 p.m.
