The First CAID CROWN TOURNEY will be held at Glen Helen Regional Park in the Barony of Dreiburgen on April 22-23 A.S. XII (1978)
Camping:
The Park will be open at 5:00pm Friday 4/21. The tourney will be held at the Boy Scout Campsite, NOT the area we usually hold tournies at.
Fees:
If you come in Friday night between 5 and 11 to camp, you will pay 50 cents per person per night AND YOU WILL SIGN THE WAIVER AT THE GATE; If you come in Saturday morning between 7 and 9am you will enter through a second gate that will be managed by SCA folke. You will pay either $1.00 per car if you ONLY stay during the day OR you will pay 50 cents per person if you are camping. If you enter the park AFTER 9am, you will pay either the $1.00 at the ranger station or, if you are camping that night (Saturday) you will tell the ranger you are with the SCA and that you will be camping. They will let you drive to the site where the constables will extort your 50 cents per person for camping.
Contests:
- 1. Baroness Jessica’s Counted Thread Contest:
- 2. Baroness Bjo’s Design-A-Crown Contest:
Because designing a Crown for Caid is too important to trust to one contest, this will run at several events to gather as manh fine designs as possible for consideration. Designers may send in ideas if they cannot attend events (entries are not limited to Caidan submissions – we encourage everyone who reads the Crown Prints to submit a design if they like.)
Therefore, the Crown Tourney will see the FIRST of several contests for a Caid Crown design. Entries will be judged at each event and top designs will be given recognition and prizes and will be printed in the Crown Prints. Each contest will have its own prizes. When a collection of top designs has been gathered, a Grand Prize winner will be selected. If that design is suitable, the crowns for Caid will be from it. Prizes for the contest will be: First—choice gem or trim (of equal value); other prizes will be given if enough entries Warrant extra recognition.
Designs should be drawn; if you can not draw, have a friend do it for you and please credit the artist. Different designs for King and Queen may be submitted. Designer may sub as many designs as desired, as many times as you have designs. Mailed in designs will be judged at the event nearest the time they are rec’d. Designers should take into account the sceptors already presented to the throne of Caid by Denis Seodoir. Designs should incorporate some or all of the symbols for King (laurel wreath) or Queen (roses) and/or Caidan symbols: crescents and crenellation.
- 3. Baroness Alison’s cooking contest:
Main Dish Pies AND Medieval Puddings such as Bread Pudding, Rice Pudding, Plummy Pudding, or even Figgy Puidding. Extra points for authenticity, such as source of recipe and presentation.
- 4. Authentic Tourney Site (outward Medieval Appearance of the pavilion):
