In addition to the regularly scheduled Fighting, Barding, Creating and Feasting, this year’s special edition event will also see several other activities for the populace to participate in and enjoy:
- Siege Sewing Contest: The Barony is under siege!!! Whatever shall we wear??!!??-This contest is open to all. Individual or team entries allowed. Pick your victim …er… model from whoever is available. Materials will be provided at Gate. Please bring your own scissors. No sewing machines allowed (that’s cheating :). Winners will be determined after a Fashion Show by the contestants.
- Tabletop Trebuchet Contest: Viscountess Bernadette invites all would-be inventors and tacticians to ply their skill and create a war-machine worthy of firing only the softest marshmallows and finest grapes. Trebuchets should fit on a tabletop and be small enough to be carried by one person. Prizes given for furthest shot, highest shot, and lightest construction.
- Picnic Lunch Auction – With proceeds to benefit the Category:Tir Righ Travel Fund, Lions Gate is pleased to hold a Picnic Lunch auction Sunday afternoon. Please bring your basket/box lunch for 2 and enter it in the contest… and bid on your favourite luncheon.
- Royal Games Tournament For the Principality of Tir Righ - Open to all, The Storm Thrones invite the populace of Tir Righ to join in to the "Royal Games Tournament". Anyone who is part of the Principality may join; no previous experience is required. At most, if not all, of the events that the Prince and/or Princess attend within the boundaries of Tir Righ, there will be a Game Tournament, with different game for each tournament. Anyone who participates in the tournament will get 1 point. The person who comes in third at the tournament will get 1 extra point, second place gets 2 extra points and the person who comes in first will get the prize for that tournament and 3 extra points. At the twilight of Their Highnesses Reign, the person with the most points will receive a special prize.
- Blue Helm Tournament – Come witness and cheer the next generations of Fighters as they test their skills on the field of honourable combat, some for the first time. Tourney will be held in the Erics. Tourney open to all Smalls.
- Merchants Lunch – Held on Saturday afternoon, provided by the Heavy Fighters of Lions Gate with funds aiding the Heavy Fight Practices. Bring your coins and your appetite.
- Alphabet Soup Site Token Contest – collect your alphabet beads and details at GATE when you sign-in.
- Pied Piper – Pied Piper will be providing scheduled activities for the smalls throughout the event. Please remember this is not a babysitting service, so please mind your smalls.
- Bardic Revel and Potluck Feast: Bring a dish for 8-12, your feast gear and seating… or if you prefer not to contribute or partake of the feast (for food allergy or preference reasons), bring your own dinner and join us anyway… More details to come…
