Have you not been able to do all the SCA camping you would like? Are those tents and pavilions sitting forlornly in the garages and trailers, looking for a weekend to get used? Well, have hope, the time for the King's Hunt will soon be upon us!
A plague of wild beasts has befallen our fair Shire! They are damaging our crops and threatening our livestock. The time has come to round up some of Caid's finest warriors and do battle upon the big-eyed deer and soft, fluffy bunnies who have ruthlessly invaded our wild places!
Wherefore do we plea for the aid of all the brave and skilled hunters of our Kingdom. Once again, the Shire of Carreg Wen will be hosting the King's Hunt. Come join us in the morning tracking down wild "animals" and in the afternoon we will have a tournament. The hunting party is made up of a "hunter" carrying a spear and two "dogs" which carry a single-handed weapon. The "Animals" may fight with any weapons. The prize goes to the hunting team that slays the most animals. There will also be a prize for the most unique animal. Saturday morning the fencers will be hunting dog skulls and each other in Blood of Heroes.
In the afternoon, there will be both heavy and rapier lists. The rapier list will be an interactive Hunt-themed tourney. Archery shoots and equestrian activities will also be held on Saturday.
This year's Event also means the return of the Master Baker of the Hunt competition! The title of Master Baker of the Hunt will be awarded to he or she who brings the best bread to site. Anyone may participate in this Populace's Choice competition. The entries will be judged by silent vote during the feast--please bake at least one large loaf of bread so as many people as possible may taste and vote. Printed ingredient lists are required with each entry and period documentation is encouraged, but not required. Tickets will be available on site for $8 for the Saturday night Feast. A feast menu will be posted on-line soon. A breakfast will be provided Sunday morning so that all who come may travel home well fed.
Location: Live Oak Campground is nestled between the verdant hills of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the river of the same name. There is plenty of shaded camping space available and heated showers.
Site will open Friday, April 2, 2010 at noon and close Sunday April 4, 2010 at noon.
The Hunt will begin on Saturday morning.
