We all know the Women of Hawkwood are formidable. But are you strong enough
to compete with the Manly Beards of the Men of Hawkwood? Bring your best beard and
come enjoy a spring rite of passage as Hawkwood celebrates its Baronial Birthday and
offers up the competition of BEARD WARS! It’s sure to be a day full of fun, frolic, fighting
and rampant beard jokes! Martial Activities: List opens at 10:00; Beardly melees will ensue at noon! A timed (30 min) Resurrection Sheep Raid. There will be three categories of sheep: white, black, and female. White sheep are one point. Black sheep are two points. Female sheep are three points. At the end of 30 min whoever has the most points wins. The scenario will be run at least twice, and three times if a tie-breaker is needed. Scenario is the same for armored and rapier combatants. Combat archery is allowed; siege weaponry is not.
