ACTIVITIES: Outdoor activities held early in the event day are the Baronial Thrown Weapons Championship and an Archery Tournament. There will be a shaded knot tying station where adults and youth can try their hand at tying knots essential for camping and forestry. Inside the clubhouse we will have medieval games, including the Baronial Chess Championship, and a variety of Make ’N’ Take arts activities: Viking Beads & Wire Wrap Station (free!) and Rune-Stamped Metal Bracelets ($3 for materials). Lucia Traveler is sponsoring the Annual Limerick competition and will provide a handmade booklet for each participant to compose in. Come to play, make, compose, and compete at this unique site away from the heat and bustle of the Las Vegas valley!
LUNCH: Lunch is a partial potluck that is included in the site fee. The Barony will provide both meat and vegetarian chilis with optional toppings. Members of the populace are encouraged to bring beverages and cold side dishes to share. Feast gear is strongly encouraged, but some paper goods will be available.
SITE INFORMATION/RESTRICTIONS: Carpooling is encouraged as there is limited parking available. This is a primitive site in the mountains, but amenities include indoor flush toilets, a clubhouse with kitchen, and a playground. Misting fans and pop-ups will help keep us cool. This is a dry site. Las Vegas Archers prohibit sword-fighting, but arrows, axes, and throwing knives are all good!
