Vendor AND Event Announcement: Champion of Fate!
LARP-style melee with awesome toys... I mean... LARP weapons! (Real ones aren't allowed, read the site rules)
These tournament style events are loads of fun to participate in or to watch. Sign up for the tournament will open the same time as the event and you will have to sign up (and sign the waiver) to participate. If you opt to rent a weapon then you'll be able to practice with your friends before the tournament. There is a fee to participate in this event and it is cash only, but the fee is tiny ($5) and goes to the cost of building, repairing, and replacing the equipment that you'll be using.
There will be options to purchase these LARP style weapons for those who are interested.

The St Mary's County Pagan Community cordially invites you to celebrate the Summer Solstice with us on Saturday, June 17th from 1300 to 2200 hrs (that would be 1PM to 10PM for those who don't do the 24 hour format thing) at Chancellor's Point Natural History Area, operated by the wonderful people at Historic St Mary's City. All pagans, heathens, druids, witches, wiccans, polytheists, pantheists, mystics, et ceteras and supportive friends who are part of or connected to our local community are welcome.
Follow the bouncing link list to the rest of the necessary information.
Site Rules are here, please read them. Please note that while the park does allow pets on leashes we are asking you to leave your furry friends home.
This year's Fest is for one day only and there will be no camping on site unless you make your own arrangements with Historic St Mary's City.
The gate will open at 1300. All non-member adults are asked to pay $10 at the gate (previously purchased multi-day tickets are being refunded) and members are asked to pay the usual $5 per adult site fee.
There will be a Sun-honoring rite at 1500. All are welcome to participate, there will be no judgement if you choose for whatever reason to sit it out.
There will be a speaker/led discussion at 1600, where we will talk about finding your own path in a vast and teeming movement.
There will be a Potluck Supper at 1700. Please use this sign up sheet to coordinate dishes.
There will be a bonfire, drumming, stories, dancing, and whatever else strikes our summery fancy from whenever the supper is over to 2200.
We hope you'll still come out and play, even if it's only for one day. We hope to see you there!
