Saturday Schedule of Events

Sunday, September 17th, 2006 10am-6pm at Field A and five surrounding picnic sites at Goddard Park in Warwick.
There will be a large tent for shaded workshops and vendors, and restrooms available. Cold beverages will be available for purchase, along with food. Cold water will be available to anyone who needs it. We will have sunscreen, bug repellent and a first aid kit, and would appreciate any medically trained volunteers to help with minor emergencies. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Adrian at ct_stonecrafter@yahoo.com We recommend you bring a sun umbrella, sunscreen and water bottles. We also recommend that if you have a drum, bring it for the Drumming Circle!

Pagan Games: In addition to the Coven Tug of War, we will also be having fun, harmless games such as Jousting (on hobby horses and with real shields but foam lances – collect a favour from a wench first to tie to your lance! LOL). Garb is welcome and encouraged, but bring a change of clothes to get hot and messy in!
