<BR>
O Yea, O Yea! To all the gentles from the Kingdom of Atlantia. Come and join the<BR>
Canton of Falcon Cree for their 10th Annual Toys for Tots Tournament! We plan a festive<BR>
day, filled with fighting and the spirit of giving. Toward that end, we humbly beg for your<BR>
attendance as we plan a raid on the encampment of the nameless Prince who has robbed<BR>
our kingdom of the toys we had gathered for the noble U.S. Marine Corps.<BR>
<BR>
Arts and Sciences: There will be a competition for period toys and Christmas ornaments,<BR>
as well as a period story or poem. Competitors, bring your best period costumes for Santa<BR>
Claus, Father Christmas or Grandfather Winter. Your entry fee as always is one new,<BR>
unwrapped toy for each competition you enter. <BR>
Heavy Weapons: Come and show your prowess on the field of honor. There will be<BR>
prizes awarded for the most skilled fighters in Sword and Shield, Two Sword, and Great<BR>
Sword. We also have readied a special scenario for the overall tournament winner!<BR>
Rapier: A very special rapier tournament will reveal not who can best wield the rapier --<BR>
but he or she whose personal herald or retinue must outpraise all others when presenting<BR>
their duelist in prose or poetry direct from the fighter’s quill. <BR>
Boffer Weapons: For the children ages 8-16, we will have a boffer tourney.<BR>
Hound Coursing: Once again, the field is clear for our beautiful Atlantian racing hounds.<BR>
Please bring your site hound for an afternoon of speed, excitement, and the admiration of<BR>
the populace.<BR>
