This year we look forward to having all the members of the Order of the Crescent together at an event for the first time since 2009. The guys have been upgrading their kit, and will be using some sweet new armour and horse harness you won't want to miss. There will be an expanded falconry program from Sky Hunters, a number of new exhibitors and living history groups, new food vendors, and more family activities than ever before. Jeri Westerson, author of the Crispin Guest Medieval Noir Series will be on hand to sign books, and if that wasn't enough, we'll welcome 2 other surprise guests to the event.
Our competitors have been competing at tournaments almost every weekend this summer, and are in top fit and form. Enthusiasm is high, and we anticipate some of the toughest competition yet. Our 7th event will be bigger and better than ever, and we look forward to seeing you there!
