(An Assassin's Gathering)
The Shire of Phoenix Glade Presents:
Daggers and Hemlock (An Assassin's Gathering)
25 August, 2007
Northwest Florida Fair Grounds, Fort Walton Beach, FL.
Pre-Registration Extended!
Thank you ALL for making this a wonderful event. Guests and members of the Shire all had a wonderful time, and we'll get pictures and movies up as soon as we can.
Come and enjoy a day of heavy weapon’s fighting (no large weapons due to room limitations), arts and sciences, concluded by a grand feast all in air–conditioned comfort. Restrooms, primitive showers, and tent camping will be available at the site. The day will be highlighted by an assassins’ tournament, which will be restricted to the tools of the trade. We also encourage all participants to enter our game of progressive assassination – awards to be presented for the most creative assassinations. There will also be competition of herbal concoctions – ask when registering. It will be a contest of creativity using herbs. Anything goes - edible items, herbal remedies, even poison.
For "special" tournaments, the Shire will provide the weapons you may need. There will also be a Children's Interest Point to keep the wee ones entertained if you are busy with other activities. While not a babysitting service, it is an opportunity to get something done while entertaining and educating younger folks.
