Come test your martial skills in our summer tourney. There will be two contests for the day. First, to see who will crown the Queen of Love and Beauty, there will be a double elimination tourney. Second, to choose an honor guard for her there will be a team melee tourney. Each team will consist of three to five fighters. Come with your team already formed or join one on the site. Yes, this does mean that some teams will have more fighters than others. The winner will be the team that most impresses the Queen of Love and Beauty through out the day.
The hall will be open for period gaming through out the day. A delicious feast will be prepared by Lord Wulfric Adler.

You've just finished you 13th Century wood chest -- 100 hours of blood, sweat and tears. You want to show it off to someone, but who? Bring it the the Kingdom Arts Festival. The Barony of Windmasters' Hill will be hosting a Kingdom Arts Festival in Raleigh, NC. The site opens at 9:00 am. and closes at 10 pm.
There will be working demonstrations and displays given by our Laurel and Pearl orders. Did you ever want to see how a spinning wheel works but don't have the time to invest in a class at the present time? Would you like to see what period woodworking is like? Would you like to see what pigments used in period paintings looked like? What was available? This is the idea here. This is the opportunity for you to see various Arts and Sciences and to ask questions of the artisans who work in these mediums.
There will be both a Judged Competition and a Peer's Prize Tourney. The Judged Competition will have the following categories: Fiber Arts, Paint and Pen, Durable Goods, Consumable Goods, Performance Arts, and Composition.
Entrants in the Peer's Prize Tourney will be required to stand by their work for a brief period of time while the Peers take the time to look at the work, talk to the artisans about their studies, provide feedback and provide encouragement. Peers are encouraged to leave tokens for artisans whose work they find particularly impressive.
Children under the age of 15 may display their work and, if they wish, can meet people and discuss their art during the specified one-half hour Children's Display Tourney.
There will be several classes taught during the day.
Curia will be held the Sunday following the event at the Cricket Inn.
