Beggar’s Rebellion:  Muddy Gras!

August 8 - 10, 2008

Cumberland Centre
3407 Gillespie Lane, Columbia, Tennessee 38401

Return with the Shire of An Dun Theine to the days of yore,
with Borton-on-Water and Sodbury in bitter competition once again. 
This is an event where all titles and regalia will be left behind. 
We’re serious. 
And you probably will get very dirty. 
We’re very serious.

Heavy fighters will be kept busy! 
Friday they will have a tourney by torchlight. 
Saturday there will be a peasant weapons tournament (no “traditional” weapons),
a two-man/three-legged tournament,
and a Red Rover tournament. 

All adults are welcome to partake in the dagger and buckler tournament and the hoppity-hop jousting. 
Those without fighter’s authorization cards must sign a waiver before competing in these games. 
We’re very, very serious.

Other peasant games will include a scavenger hunt, an egg toss,
Slip & Slide for distance, and a mud pit belly flop contest.
(We told you you’d get dirty.)

There will be a mud pie and dirt cake dessert contest.
Winners will be determined by populace choice during or after lunch.
(This is for the real desserts, not dirt-and-rocks facsimilies.) 
You must bring the completed dish, as there is no space onsite for non-event staff to prepare food. 

We will also have an Iron Peasant Garb competition. 
**Teams must register in advance.**
All teams must have a model willing to wear the completed garb in a fashion show.
Winner will also be populace choice.

Traveler’s fare, breakfast, and feast are all included in the on-board prices. 
A fundraiser lunch is in the works. 
The menu will be available here at a later date.

Dietary concerns must be addressed to the feastcrat; all other concerns should be sent to the autocrat.

Sound like fun?  Come join us!
