Further Event Information: 

Western Folk All! The Canton of Hawks Haven invites you to a day of competition, fun and companionship with fighting, arts and socialization. All fighters are invited to participate in Prize Tournaments, for both Heavy and Rapier. Win the heavy tournament, take home a turkey for your Feast. And for the more refined palettes of our steel fighters, you will take home a set of cornish game hens. These will be mad dog style tournaments, so you’ll get as much fighting as you can stand. For the not so marshally minded, there will be classes and also a Dirty Half Dozen Competition! Make (6) of any largess item and bring them to the event. This is an entrant judged competition and the winner will take home a $50 Michaels gift card. The rest will be donated to the Baronial largess coffers. This is a chance to show off your skill and creativity, so mark each item with your name. Some suggestions include: * Bookmarks * Embroidered napkins * Painted silk bannerettes * Bow sleeves * Cup covers * Needle books*
