If you have children or pets, please keep them leashed, clean up after them
(bring your own poo bags). They are welcome but we expect them to be quiet and
well mannered. Poorly mannered children and pets will be handed over to Grendel
for disposal.
Please bring your own utensils for the Big Feed on Saturday night.
Please:
NO GLASS CONTAINERS
in the park. None. If you are a cook, you are not included in this mandate,
unless you go near the river. Also, no driving the vehicles to the lower level
camping areas, the owner has installed rock walls and planters that now prevent
this, sorry.
Please help us keep the park owner happy with us by being conscientious with
trash, the park is open to the public during the rest of the year and bottle
caps, twist ties and other minutea of debris gets left behind. With so many
environmentalists present at once during our event if everyone picked up a few
things the park would SPARKLE, so will the owner's smile!
Create a prize winning, memorable Barbarian or Viking costume! Get on it!!
BEYOND HERE BE DRAGONS
