Elevation:

We have heard word, from Pennsic, that Don Rian Gortyroyan will be elevated to the Most Noble Order of Defense at our event.

A&S Comptition:

Good friends, hear these words from Baron Rhion Elandris of Glyndyfrdwy about the Arts and Sciences competitions to held at Summer's End:

My Lords and Ladies and Nobles what would Summer’s End be without an A & S competition. and if one isn’t enough, we are having two.

Contest one: a returning favorite from last year - Fake It Until You Make It. This is an A&S competition not about recreating things from period, but for the ways we cover up modern things so that they don't stand out at our events. Camp chair covers, covers for plastic water bottles, leather "books" to hide cell phones, spats to hide modern shoes. Anything that you created to allow you to use modern items while still keeping the look medieval. Since, to my knowledge, there has been one similar A&S competition in AEthelmearc, anything that you have made in your SCA career is eligible to be entered.

Contest two: I Tried Something New And This Happened. Always wanted to try something, now is the time. If a bard, try painting. Do scrolls, try woodwork or clay. Get creative, we want to see. Even the failures.
No documenation is needed, but a little explanation would be great. All voting to be done by the populace.

Directions:

Take your best route NYS Thruway I-90 to EXIT 49, toward Depew/Lockport
Turn left onto Transit Rd/NY-78. Continue to follow NY-78.

Schedule:

TBA

Since this is still a newish site for us, here is what it looks like from the air:

There are no vigils planned, at this time, but we do have space available if needed.

There is plenty of space in the fighting and fencing area for pop-ups and pavillions. Please bring yours if you wish. The "Barn" has picnic tables so there will be space to sit, outside and out of the sun. The little building to the lower left of the "barn" is reserved for the MoLs. There is plenty of space for archery and thrown weapons and for pop-ups. The area marked as no parking for us is restricted to the fire fighters and for the fire trucks. .Accessibility parking is on the right-hand side of the building, near the troll.

Plenty of space for archery:

Plenty of seating in the "barn".

Plenty of space for combat.

More than enough space for vigils (if needed)
