Yule Toy Tourney V
(2010-12-10 - 2010-12-12 - Site opens at 4 PM & Closes at 11)
Nottinghill Coill

The Barony of Nottinghill Coill would like all to join us for our annual Yule Toy Tourney and help bring the spirit of Yuletide to needy children in the upstate of South Carolina. Each new, unwrapped toy donated will be hand delivered on Christmas Eve to children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to experience this magical time of the year! The Country Santa has been working many years to give toys to needy children in the upstate. ALL toys will be donated to this most worthy organization! The website for The Country Santa is http://www.countrysanta.org/

Martial Activities: Heavy and Rapier Tourneys will be “gift tourneys”. Each fighter will be given two “gifts”. If you are defeated on the field, your opponent will tell you whom to present the gift to on their behalf. There will be additional gifts at the MoL table so that eliminated fighters can buy back in to the tourney for a $5.00 donation to “Country Santa”. The winner of each tourney will be the last fighter with a gift remaining. Archery Shoot will be a Holiday Themed test of skill and accuracy.

Arts & Sciences Activities: While documentation is not required, extra points will be given if it is included! 1) Best Handmade Toy (does not have to be period) 2) Best Baked Item (breads, cookies, etc.) 3) Best Yuletide Ornament
