Medusa! The name makes even the most hardened warrior flinch. One glance; meet her eyes, look upon her head of writhing snakes and you turn to stone. Do you know the way to outstare Medusa? Or will you be turned into a stone statue of yourself for all eternity? Come and join us for a weekend of fun, fighting and food.Website: http://pontealto.atlantia.sca.org/events/chalice.php
Martial Activities: There will be armored, rapier, youth and target archery tournaments. Competitors shall fight in a Challenger’s tourney for the right to best the current Chalice Champions in each discipline and become this year’s Chalice Champions.
