Shire of Misty Highlands

The Shire of Misty Highlands once again challenges all to join us for battle and competition in the forests of Sherwood. This year Robin and his band have boldly moved their encampment to a more scenic area of the forest, where the Sheriff's forces will attempt to best them in contests of archery, novelty shoots, and full armored engagements on the field with combat archery. Of course the merry men will also offer fencing, thrown weapons, scouting activities, A&S classes and a display, a Southern Scribal Symposium, a Gage Tourney, plus an evening feast created by Lady Ailionora. We are also happy to host the Queen's Combat Archery Championship again this year. The evenings will also see bardic activities, mid-eastern drumming and dancing, and our traditional coffee bar, "Holy Grounds" will be open, with games to challenge the intellect.

This year our new site will be Camp Mahonegon (6C71 Box 93 Ellamore, WV), 3 miles off Rt. 33 (yes, that's a four lane highway), near Buckhannon, WV. The site opens at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 2th, and closes at Noon on Sunday, June 5th. The site is dry and no pets are allowed. Service animals must be leashed. This is a rustic scout camp, and unfortunately is not fully handicap accessible.

Accommodations: Dormitory-style bunks are available, and plenty of land will be available for tent camping. The cabins have standard metal-frame bunk beds with mattresses; attendees should bring their own bedding. There are also several open-air Adirondack style cabins, and of course plenty of land for tent camping.

Fees: The site fee is $7.00 for the weekend, which includes brunch on Saturday. A cabin bunk is $2.00; tent camping is free. On-board for the feast will be an additional $7.00. Children under 12 are ½ price; under 5 are free. The feast is limited to 72, so please make reservations early, by sending the appropriate amount by May 30, 2006 to Lady Rota Egilsdottir (Alicia Livesay), 1546 Country Club Rd Fairmont, WV 26554.
