The Kingdom of Caid will host Talon Crescent Festival this first year 
over President's Day weekend on Saturday, February 16th and Sunday, 
February 17th in preparation for Talon Crescent Wars in 2014.

This first year will be a non-camping event. Come spend a weekend in the
 fair Barony of Starkhafn exchanging interests and building friendships 
old and new. In an oasis of trees and lakes, take the field in armored 
and rapier combat, unarmored lysts and archery, or enjoy classes in 
combat and Arts and Sciences during the day. Accommodations and fine 
dining are a short distance away - refresh and then explore the lights 
and entertainment of vibrant Las Vegas after hours. 

We are 
looking for additional ideas of what you would like to see, sponsors for
 tournaments, melees and instructors for all weapons forms and classes 
in Arts and Sciences from both kingdoms. This is your opportunity to 
forge a common vision and create a weekend to share and exchange 
interests and 'cultural' similarities and differences in how each 
kingdom plays.

Merchants:  If you are interested please send an email to
Stewards at taloncrescentwars.org

We have a sponsored Spear Tournament and would love to see more sponsored events!

VOLUNTEERS! We are looking for volunteers for gate 
and support crew. If you are interested in being part of putting on the 
event please email Duke Patrick or myself.
