A Midsummer Twilight Tourney
(2007-06-08 - 2007-06-10 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 12 AM)
Buckston-on-Eno

Not only are we tilting at windmills, we are turning the whole event upside down! Come join Buckston-on-Eno for a tribute to Don Quixote. There will be activities and contests sure to please everyone. However, be warned the feast will be at mid-day and fighting in the twilight hours.

Martial Activities: There will be a Heavy and Rapier Tourney beginning in the late afternoon and continuing through the twilight hours. An archery Tournament will be held in the afternoon as the archers shoot at windmills. Atlantian Cavalry will host a tournament at the main event site. Youth Fighting: There will be a tournament in the morning.

Arts & Sciences Activities: Artisan's Row: Artists and artisans are invited to demonstrate and display their skill and works. There are no competitions on Artisan's Row; the prizes won are fellowship, sharing of knowledge and inspiration. To participate, please contact Maestra Francesca la Curiosa (muirdean@mindspring.com). Please note that space is outside, so you will need to bring your own day shade.
