[Artemisia] Baron's War

[Zafirah Tahreer Bint Al Riyah]

Baron's War is almost here!!!

Instructors wanted to teach classes both Friday and Saturday.  

There are no Youth Officers in either of the baronies!!!  Volunteers to help with youth activities desparately wanted!  Help and ideas emphatically welcomed!!!

Volunteers for set up and tear down also welcome.

Some things to remember: There is potable water and flushing toilets, there will also be portable restrooms a little closer to camping areas.  Fire restrictions will be very strict due to the high fire danger created by all the dry grass that grew up in the  late rain. No tiki torches allowed. Above ground fire pits are may also be banned, check back before the event. No projectile weapons are allowed in the park (this means no archery!).  Horses are allowed in the park but not camping areas so use caution and be allert when traveling on trails away from the main camp area.  There are not many trees so be sure to bring your own shade.  See the web page for up to date information:
