[Artemisia] Raptor War updates!

Raptor War Pre Registration is OPEN! This is not a pre-pay nor is it a land
allocation or reservation for the Baronial Burger Burn. It is simply to
help the event Stewards prepare for how many will be attending.

A Note about Archery: Due to State Park rules (that just got noticed by
someone) We have moved Archery offsite. We have a permit to hold it about
1/4 mile up the road from the site on Wildlife Management land. There is
parking so those that don't want to walk can drive up to the Tournament.
Please plan accordingly.

The Tournament Du Armand will take place again this year. Come honor our
beloved Baron Armand in the tournament held in his memory.

Assassin's Tourney will be happening) along with 2 classes and a small
collection of activities aimed at our young and young at heart.

*******************
In an effort to keep the event costs to a bare minimum we have elected to
have attendees pay the Park fees at the entrance directly to the State of
Idaho Parks and Recreation as they arrive. While this is atypical for an
SCA event we are doing this to allow our friends to keep their expenses to
minimum if they so desire.
