More info

-from the 2005 event copy- Located on a farm, this raw site is improved each year by volunteers during numerous work weekends held in spring and summer. Currently, a castle is being constructed and features two complete 16' towers (yes, this means archers can actually shoot down at the encroaching army!) A door you have to batter down (yes, you get to use a battering ram!)
