The Great Pennsic War draws near.  Are your troops ready?  Join us 
for Myrkfaelinn's Annual Summer War Practice.  This year we shall be 
returning to many people's favorite location - Camp Barton!  Features 
of this site include the ability to hold epic battles beneath 
majestic waterfalls, swimming in gorgeous Cayuga Lake, and just an 
all around spectacular atmosphere.

Of course there will be armoured melee, as well as combat archery, 
fencing melees, target archery and thrown weapons.  For those less 
inclined to combat, there will be an A&S competition determined by 
populace choice with a special category for children.  You may also 
enjoy the comfort of the great hall and the great outdoors.

This will be a camping event at Camp Barton Boy Scout Camp (Frontenac 
Rd, Trumansburg, NY) so bring your tent!  The site is not noted as 
being very handicapped-accessible, though the restrooms are.  Shower 
facilities are available.  The site is dry and no pets are allowed 
except for guide dogs.

The site opens at 6:00pm on Friday, June 6th and those who have not 
cleared out by noon on Sunday, the 8th will be pressganged into the 
cleaning crews.  A sideboard lunch on Saturday is included in your 
site fee.  Grills and firepits will be available for the cooking of 
your supper.

Adult pricing is $10, children 6-17 years of age are $5, and children 
5 and under are free.  The $3 Non-Member Surcharge applies to all 
guests who cannot provide proof of membership.  The only good 
reservation is a paid reservation, so make your checks out to SCA
