Come out and participate in our War Scenarios in a REAL WOODEN CASTLE! We will have multiple battles including (but not limited to) a Bridge Battle, Castle Siege and a Defile battle (see it to believe it).
Combat Archers definitely welcome. We have a tower and catwalk (bring your 9-footers to shoot from the catwalk). Multiple Archery Shoots throughout the weekend including a Card Shoot, Running Boar Shoot, an IKAC and a Castle shoot. Plus there will be a Thrown Weapons event for Spear, Axes & Knives.
In addition there will be the HEAVY and RAPIER Overlord Tourneys with our usual fabulous prizes as well as all the fighting you can handle.
If we have enough willing participants we will have the Bardic Competition around the Campfire on Saturday night.
As a reminder, the site has a small playground for the kids. We have something for everyone! Castille Llano Estacado is a scale representation of a 7th to 10th Century Motte & Bailey Castle. In addition to the Tower & Catwalk we have a full circle enclosure to fight, feast & revel in.
There is also extensive camping space and it is a private site. There is a La Quinta Hotel 5 minutes from the site as well as a Wal-Mart and every other convenience within 5 minutes of the site. Please make feast reservations in advance (prepayment not required) as the attendance of this event has fluctuated wildly in the last few years and we want to make certain everyone is fed.
Due to local laws, we can not post SCA signs through town.
