Welcome one and all to Crystal Crags' annual Harvest event - for lo these 
many years known as The Maze, Dragon's Maze, or, most recently - due to a 
typographical error, Gallow Games!

This year's event will be held on a lovely, private 10-acre wooded manor 
just a few miles south of Columbia Falls, with acres of flat ground perfect 
for the intended melees and fighting scenarios!

Some of the activities and entertainments we have planned for you include:

Axe throwing
Archery
Blind Man's Bluff  (adult version as well as Youth version!)
Hangman's Noose (timed skills game)
Saturday Evening -Torchlight Rapier Tourney
Saturday Evening - Heavy Fighter's Auction and Tournament
Melees throughout the weekend - both heavy and rapier
Possibility of an Equestrian Procession on both nights!!!!

Our other Fundraiser will be the Town Stocks (bribery and ransoms work for 
everyone!  Pies possible!

And finally, our A&S Championship will also be held.  This will be open to 
ALL interested parties from all corners of the Kingdom.  The prize for our 
Arts and Sciences Champion will befit their skills and honored position!

There will be fine prizes awarded during the Heavy Fighter's Auction - both 
bidder and competitor will receive prizes, and the Auction will run 
similarly to the Auction at Uprising.  This is a CAMPING event.  There will 
be water available, but you may wish to bring your own.  Privvies on-site, 
no showers available.  Plenty of parking, pets allowed on leash, NOT a 
handicap-friendly site, so be prepared.  Above ground fires weather 
permitting.  No feast, but welcoming soup kitchen and light fare Saturday 
afternoon, and the site is WET!!!.

The cost for this entire weekend of fun, fighting and melees is a mere $10 
for members, $13 for non-members, 1/2 price for children under 10, 
babes-in-arms free!
