There will be prizes for the winning melee team AND bardic competitions to be held AND a winners feast. The Melee tournament will be of teams of 5 combatants and be held in the medieval style with galleries for spectators and crowd involvement! Each Melee “band” will also be required to have a Bard or Herald to introduce/ hype/ herald the team onto the field each time. (think Chaucer from the movie Knights Tale…) This will be one of the two bardic competitions, the Best Intro or Field Presence.  The second Bardic competition would be held during the Winners feast and be a performance composed or written about something the bard had seen during the days melee competition..

There will be a feast with a head table for the Winning team and visiting royalty.  This will be prepared family style by the VC with service for the Head table on Saturday night after the tournament.

On Friday and Saturday night we’d like to host “Open Mic night” which would be a torch light/ Pas d’ Arm/ barrier tournament (with Prizes) AND combination Rock and Roll Karaoke. Call it “Friday Night, open-mike, Pas d’ Arme and Karaoke”

This will be a weekend camping event and support RVs
