Wooded areas for camping, a <BR>lovely grassy and shaded area for merchants, a central bonfire for evening <BR>entertainments, and a slightly wooded pasture perfect for heavy fighting <BR>scenarios. There is potable water on-site and available. We are <BR>constructing a cold-water shower facility, and we will have privvies. Pets <BR>are allowed at
no extra charge, but please be prepared to clean up after <BR>your pet.<BR><BR>There is an axe-throwing area already set up, archery, and if there is <BR>enough interest we will arrange an eric for rapier. We know already that we <BR>will have a wonderful Hafla for Saturday night with many dancers, so bring <BR>your drums and any other musical instrument! There will be a welcoming <BR>kitchen Friday nite, all merchants are welcome, and bardic entertainments <BR>throughout.<BR><BR>THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE AN *UNOFFICIAL EVENT*, but all SCA rules apply.<BR><BR>Again, while we all mourn the loss of GF this year, and appreciate all the <BR>effort that went into it, perhaps you might consider coming to this and <BR>having some fun after all!<BR><BR>The site fee will be $7 per person - kids free! for the entire weekend (and <BR>that is only to cover the costs of privvies which are at a premium right <BR>now). If there are no nay-sayers, ome of that money may be used to procure <BR>a keg!
Since this is an unofficial event, there is NO $3 NMS.<BR><BR>DIRECTIONS: Best route to Columbia Falls - there will be signs to guide <BR>you! At the intersection of Hwy 206 and 35 (Woody's C-Store) go north about <BR>5 miles to Trap Road. Go west about 1/2 mi. On the south side of the road <BR>is a huge log gateway, turn in there. Be sure to veer to the right.<BR><BR>RSVP would be great, and we hope to see many of you here August 21-24!!<BR><BR>_________________________________________________________________<BR>The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* <BR>http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Artretinue mailing list<BR>Artretinue@lists.gallowglass.org<BR>http://lists.gallowglass.org/mailman/listinfo/artretinue</BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><p><hr SIZE=1>
