As harvest-time draws near, the greenwood rings with the revelry of
gentle-folk.
Come join the Canton of Attillium in Windmasters Hill to celebrate The Feast
of Herne.

October 3-5 

FIGHTING - Was he William the Bastard or William the Conqueror?  Is Robin
Hood a hero or a common thief?  Declare yourself as Norman or Saxon, then
follow your commander chosen by right of arms in the tournament, to lose or
gain the keep and the gold.  Beware the archers' bolts!

For the light fighters, who shall defend the path down which King Richard's
ransom is carried?

ARCHERY - Declare yourself as sheriff's man or merryman, for your skill will
determine who will first carry the gold. 

GENTLE ARTS - Wear your finest Norman or Saxon garb, and display your crafts
in the 11-13th century display.  Perform for those who will hear and pay the
measure of your worth.  Prizes shall be given for the finest garb, the most
pleasing performance, and the archery-related object judged finest.  There
shall also be a poetry contest using early poetic forms. 

CHILDREN - There shall be supervised activities in the morning and afternoon,
to include a woods hunt and various artistic endeavours. 

FOOD & DRINK - A hearty lunch will be provided to all on Saturday.  The
feast, prepared by Lady Crysarra Fayreclothe, will be delightful to the eye,
tasty to the mouth, and heartening to the body, strengthening for the night's
revelry.

The site is Camp Bowers, with great hall, showers, and plenty of room for
tents & pavilions. This site is very discreetly damp.  Please no original
containers, even in the trash!

Event cost is $12 for feast, and $6 for those who provide their own evening
meal.  Children of 5-12 years are half that cost. Children under 5 are guests
of Attillium. 
Checks payable to the Canton of Attillium, SCA Inc.
