Your attention, good citizens of the Empire (and other reenactors)!
The Populace of Kýrbýr would like you to come celebrate the End of Summer with a War. The date is still to be determined, probably mid October. We will be holding it in Ripon, California. This is a primitive campsite! Amenities include a port-a-pottie and a faucet & hose, so be prepared!
Site fee is $15 for adults, $5 for children ages 5-12, and free for children under 5.
Activities will include: Glima (wrestling), hunkerhausen (tug o' war), Stansnordling (oar toss), Spear and Axe throwing for accuracy and distance, stone lifting, and story telling. We will also be offering classes in Tafl and Tablet Weaving. There will be an A & S war, and we will giving awards for the most period campsite(s).
Also, if you would like to sponsor an event, please contact the autocrats Sine ([email protected]) or Valdís ([email protected])
Parents, please note: At this time, there are no planned Children's events. HOWEVER, if you wish to see some children's events, please let us know! We will add some activities for the small people if there is enough interest!
Please RSVP with the number in your party, including the number under 12, and the type of campsite you will be bringing (period Viking, period non-Viking, or non-period), to Valdís Gyđja, at [email protected] ASAP.
