Fencers! Come and. Join us! We will have our snowball tourney to pick teams and then it’s into the woods! Protect your ambassador and find your enemies, but keep your eyes peeled! Snow may be on the ground but there is a lava tunnel nearby and the lava-otters may make an appearance! Will they be friend? Will they be foe? Not even they know!

Evening Court will start between 4:30-5:00

We have a brand new, well lit 250 person Pavilion in which to hold a particularly wonderful court. We do ask that everyone dress appropriately. This event has been known to be chilly, if not downright cold at night. For the continued comfort and safety of our beloved guests, all court will be held outside or in a well ventilated area. Please bring what you will to make sure you are comfortable during our proceedings. (If the weather is particularly nasty, we may move court to the main hall.) 

As we strive to plan and produce the best possible event and experience for our local and expanded family, we cannot promise that the ongoing and still very much alive pandemic will not touch our event. We will be increasing our volunteer staff, in order to keep up on our cleanliness. Masks are absolutely absolutely welcome in the Hall and grounds if you feel more comfortable wearing them. We do implore you, if you are feeling unwell to please stay home.
