From the Crown Prints
The canton is visiting the intricacies of the Middle East this January. From Persian garb to a luncheon feast offering delicacies that transport your sensibilities to another world we will trod the sands of yesteryear. Besides the culinary delights of the canton’s treasured cooks, there will be heavy fighting, rapier, unarmored, youth combat, archery, and if we can lure them over the hill…thrown weapons.
Join Omar the Tailor’s Swapmeet. Bring that material or SCA gear you will never use and exchange it for some you would use. Haggle something’s worth down to a price you consider a bargain. Enter The Thousand and One Desert Desserts Competition. Bring a creation that suggests the sands and occasional green oasis of the Middle East. Be creative, wow the populace, and have your desert dessert chosen as the piece de resistance for the day. Culinary prizes will be awarded.
Expect the opportunity to relax and visit with friends under the tall trees on the front lawn of Imperial Valley College, croquet for those so inclined, youth activities, and the soothing peace of the temperate winter weather enjoyed in this green oasis in the desert.
