You can set up Friday night or Saturday morning and camp over both nights at 
Steppingstone with a period encampment or modern tents (if they are removed 
before the demo starts or in the modern area). Please join us for a lovely 
camping evening Friday or come on Saturday morning.  This is a beautiful site 
and they are trying to preserve many of the traditional handicrafts that derived 
directly from those that we practice in the SCA.  

We are set up as an official demo to accommodate authorizations and fighting 
again this year, we will also be selecting Bright Hills Baronial Champions for 
Equestrian and Heavy Weapons on Saturday.  Bring your best kit to impress our 
new Baron and Baroness as you fight in the tourney for heavy weapons and ride to 
glory as Bright Hills Champion.  Please note that to participate in Equestrian 
you must contact Lady Nem, our equestrian marshal and current baronial champion 
at least a week before the event.
 
Arts and Sciences Demonstrations and Displays are most welcome- the public loves 
seeing what we do and we all like to share our great work on ongoing projects 
and learn something new!
