EGIL’S RUMORS Here are a few persistent rumors we have to answer to every year.... "You have to be Norse to attend Egil’s!" -NOT TRUE, all personas are warmly welcomed to Egil's!! “You must dress Norse to attend Egil’s� -NOT TRUE, According to our governing documents you must make a reasonable attempt at pre 17th century garb. "There is no non-period camping at Egil's" -NOT TRUE, MOST of the camping is non-period only the meadow has period camping requirements. "You have to get to site and line up hours early to get in" -NOT TRUE, Egil's usually has pre-registration available and lining up at gate hours ahead of time only makes you wait in your car. There is loads of room and gate will not open early. "Egil's is a fighters event" -NOT TRUE, Egil's has a large Ithrotir and arts and sciences classes and competitions. There is also some fighting for people who are into that sort of thing (giggle). “I was a little confused about how to dress. I was under the impression that Egil's was a Norse Theme and not having a Norse garb to wear was reluctant to attend Egil's. Since that time after talking to Eleanor and Lenaya, I did find out that the participants did not have to dress in Norse garb. The old timers may know but there are newcomers who do not know and are still wondering around in amazement of what to do and how to dress. Thank you from a newbie� - You may dress in any SCA appropriate way you choose. According to our governing documents this is Pre 17 th century clothing. So have a great time finding a Century and country you like!!! Add more we love to be able to answer these!!!! Baroness Katerine
