We all know the Women of Hawkwood are formidable.  But are you strong enough
to compete with the Manly Beards of the Men of Hawkwood?  Bring your best
beard and come enjoy a spring rite of passage as Hawkwood celebrates its
Baronial Birthday and offers up the competition of BEARD WARS!  It's sure to
be a day full of fun, frolic, fighting and rampant beard jokes! 

 

-Fighting: List opens at 10:00; Beardly melees will ensue at noon!  A timed

white, black, and female. White sheep are one point. Black sheep are two
points. Female sheep are three points. At the end of 30 min. whoever has the
most points wins. The scenario will be run at least twice, and three times
if a tie-breaker is needed. Scenario is the same for armored and rapier
combatants. Combat archery is allowed, siege weaponry is not.
