[Artemisia] Dragons Tear 2011

[Morgan Lucktain]

In the dawning of our world, the last pair of dragons flew through skies of sapphire blue.  With their great ages one landed to fall into his last sleep.  Grief stricken for her loss, the last mighty Lady Dragon cried tears until she as well passed for this world into myth and legend.
 
In their beauty and grace we gather every year to remember them.  With honor, chivalry, selfless service and the passing of knowledge, their memory lives on with the Shire of Stan Wyrms’ Dragon’s Tear Event.  We would be honored to have you join us July 8th, 9th & 10th.  Site will open noon Friday & closes 3pm Sunday.  This is a wet site in period containers with above ground fire pits allowed according to the fire hazard rating for the area at the time.  Also bring swim gear since there is a small wading creek close on hand.
 
Squire Giovanni will run the Heavy Tourney as he steps down from carrying the Shires Banner & the War hammer BAM.  Who will be next to carry the Honor of the Shire & let their story be added to BAM to be carried down through the ages.  The Championship Tourney will be open for all un-belted fighters.  We will also host a Grand Tourney Champion open to all fighters un-belted & belted.  Our traditional prize of a sword can be won For the Shire Heavy Champion and a most valued prize for the Grand Champion.
 
Test your skills in Archery as well and do us all proud.  Last year we had a tie for the Archery Champion.  With much skill it was decided after 8 rounds of the contestants staying equal between a crossbow & recurve.  I would love to see that kind of skill shown once again this year.  A unique prize most valued by archer’s to be won.
 
Light Fighters come one and all & show your lightning quick skills with blade.  Show off your skills and grace for all to see.  A wonderful prize is up for the best to win.
 
Anyone who would like to teach a class is more than welcome.  Please contact me so we can plan your class & how much time you are in need of.
 
Merchants are more than welcome to come and share their wares with us. No Merchant fee but we do ask for a donation to be auctioned off during our Shire Auction directly following feast.  Please contact Lady Sorcha, our Merchant Steward to ensure your merchant space.

When you come to the Armington Junction turn right towards Neiheart and travel down Highway 89 until just before Neiheart. There will be a bridge on your right hand side of the road with a sign saying S.C.A pointing in the direction you need to go. If you are coming from the south from the White Sulphur Springs direction you need to go north on Highway 89 continue through Neiheart and the bridge will be on the left with a S.C.A sign pointing to the direction you need to go.

When anyone gets to this point, they need to go over the small
 narrow bridge. You need to continue to follow the dirt road until the end, staying to the left, the road WILL go all the way to camp with NO turn offs. The campsite is the last one on the road...
