Join us for a fun day of classes that will take you from Europe to Asia and back again, and a day of combat for the enjoyment of both heavy and rapier fighters.
Class topics include the Templars, beekeeping, maille making, and pewter casting, among others! Please follow the class link for the latest schedule. Any class that has a limited number of slots can be reserved by requesting it along with a paid pre-registration for the event.
As always we will have our silent auction and our fund-raising lunch provided by the triumphant return of Captain Carl's Time Traveling Taqueria!
There will be Rapier fighting inside the gym, and weather permitting heavy fighting and a bocce tourney outdoors. There will be something for everyone.
A wonderful feast will be prepared by Siobhan Fitzpatrick of Waterford!

Directions:
Take your best route to I-59, exit 134 (Roebuck Pkwy, to Hwy75). At the light at the bottom of the ramp,
a – if you are on I-59 South, turn right, downhill, AWAY from residential area
b – if you are on i_59 North, turn left, downhill, AWAY from residential area
Go through 7 more lights, approx 1.4 miles, and look for Parkway Christian Fellowship church on right. Immediately past Parkway Christian Fellowship, you will turn right into Our Lady of Lourdes parking lot. Voila! If you pass Wendys on the left and Shell & BP on the right, you went one light too far – turn around!
