This is a *NEW SITE*
This site is bone dry, there are no cabins at this site, and it a very long way to eating establishments. Please plan accordingly. There are no pets allowed. The good news is that while the parking lot is seperate from the main event site, it is *MUCH* closer that the previous site.

Directions can be found here!

A Special Evening Class: At Master Brusten’s Pavilion
Tavern Games: ADULTS ONLY (IDs will be checked)
Master Brusten de Bearsul will be teaching us some of the games played in taverns in
Medieval and Renaissance times.
In the middle ages, a single establishment might well serve multiple functions. While a single
building might serve as a church for the Glory of God and yet at the same time be a hospital to
tend to the sick and injured, other multi-purpose establishment might be combination restaurant,
bar, gambling den, and brothel. One such establishment has left a curious document,
which details various games played and wagers placed within during the later years of the
reign of Queen Elizabeth the first. This infamous den of iniquity was located in one of the
channel ports, where it provided entertainment of a low and common type to the worst sorts
that always accumulate in such places. In reporting on these degraded practices, my sincere
hope is that by educating oneself to the horrors that occurred in such places, people will more
fully appreciate the wonders of Truth, Justice, and the Midrealm way that we live with every
day.
Come over to his pavilion and spend the evening learning (and playing) these games.
(Directions will be supplied on site.)

11 am - 12 noon  - Bookbinding class
1:30 pm - 3:30 pm - We will have at least 3 stations that youth can
