Sacred Stone
Last year Sacred Stone and Black Diamond met in a battle of friendship. Artists, warriors, archers and nattily dressed citizens waged a determined war laced with laughter and excellent skills. But there was some confusion about who the final victor was . . . so we meet again, with our good friends, to compete and sharpen our skills against fine mettle. Come join us. The price is right, minors are free and adults are only $10. The point of this event is merriment and friendship. Everyone brings companionship to the event and points to the final tally. Come join us! Website: http://warofthewings.com/
