Yule Toy Tourney XIII
(2018-12-07 - 2018-12-09 - Site opens at 6:00 PM & Closes at 12:00 PM)
Nottinghill Coill

Ireland. The Emerald Isle. The year is 1002, and Brian Boruma mac Cennetig has become what will be known as the last true Ard-Righ, or High King, of Ireland.

Join us as we celebrate the legendary Brian Boru!

Yule Toy Tourney is the Barony of Nottinghill Coill\'s annual charity event. Admission to the site is 1 new, unwrapped toy, and there is a fee of 1 new, unwrapped toy for every tournament and competition that you wish to enter. All toys are donated to Country Santa, a local charity for children.

In previous years, we have had 800-900 toys. This years goal is to match the year that we are celebrating - 1002. Let\'s see if we can bring in 1002 or more toys to help the children of upstate South Carolina!

Arts & Sciences Activities:
Open Display - Bring your work to show it off to the populace. Works in progress more than welcome!

Inspired by the Season! - Snow flakes to holly, bright red warm fireplaces to deep dark icy forests. The winter season can inspire so much in the creative heart. Please bring something you\'ve created or are still in process of creating that was inspired by the chilly winter and holiday season!

Hide your modern! - Regulations, rules, and requirements can get in the way of helping us live our history dream. How do you hide your modern conveniences or necessities to help build the dream up for you and others? Please share your works and thoughts so that we all may bring more life to our wonderful hobby/double life!

Table decor! - Doesn\'t have to be for a whole table. Just a place setting is perfectly acceptable. So much more can be brought to the table other than the delectable food you’ll consume. Show us your fancy side! Table/place decorations to be displayed at Feast, with judging to be done between courses!
