Ahoy there, mateys! Sail yer ships to Lily Lake for a weekend of piratical fun! Thar be classes in all kinds of arts’n’sciences skullduggery, merchants t’ lighten yer sea-chests and kit ye out proper, and o’ course all the fightin’ and bow-shootin’ and throwin’ ye could ask fer. (It’s a MIDLANDS REGIONAL WAR PRACTICE!)
We’ve got lots ‘o harborage to anchor yer tents, a lunch tavern, an’ showers with HOT WATER t’ rinse the salt off ye! On Saturday we’ll feast on a roast piggie, then ye can enjoy the bardic bonfire or dance at th’ Pirate’s Ball (so bring out yer best bib’n’tucker, modern or garb). The site is WET (of course) and reasonably handicap-accessible. No electrical or water hookups are available for RVs, sorry.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a pet friendly site, however, your pet MUST be secured (leashed, crated, etc...) and supervised at all times. You are also responsible for cleaning up after your own pet. If these rules are violated, we will have to ask you to remove your pet from the site.
Site:
325 Herbert Road, Lakemoor, IL
And once again, Mistress Tatiana will be running the Griffin & Dragon Tavern where you will be able to purchase breakfast and lunch on site.
If you're interested in volunteering a bit of your time during this event, please see our volunteers wanted page for more information and areas where you can help! See the rest of the website for further information on the event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
