Hunter’s Tournament (10am Sat)
Open to all fencers. A round robin tournament, each fencer gets a stuffed animal they have to carry in their offhand. The fencer needs to protect their animal from the person they’re fighting. If they lose their offhand, or die, they lose the fight as they can no longer hold and protect their animal.
Hunting for Victory Tournament (3:30pm Sat)
Open to all fencers that have not yet won a tournament in their SCA journey. Round robin tournament, the fighter may bring any form they wish, but must wait at least two fights before using the same form again. Single rapier being the exception that can be used as often as a fencer prefers.
Outdoor Cooking
The Cobb oven was completed in time for last year’s rainy hunt. Some of the 40 campers will remember warm bread in the campsites. We hope to learn more of the oven’s capabilities this year. Please note that temperature control is a period baker’s art form, not so much a science.”
