<DIV>Shire of Sylvan Glen - Defender's Tourney - July 9-11, 2004<BR>Poorhouse
Farm Park, Martinsburg WV</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Heraldry and Pageantry! These above all others mark the spectacle of the
medieval tournament. Banners and pennons fluttering in the wind, lords and
ladies bedecked in liveried colors, heralds crying the glories and challenges of
their noble sponsors. The Shire of Sylvan Glen invites all to be a part of our
day of champions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fighting & Archery! Fighters are asked to bring a 7 inch high shield to
display upon our list tree, that all might mark your progress through our
tourney. A Pas de Arms for heavy fighters will follow the tourney with choice of
weapons and a barrier to test the skill of our new champion and his fellow
defenders. Fencers will find a tourney to challenge the keenness of both wit and
blade. Archers may test their skill at the royal round and a roving range. There
will also be a youth tourney for our pint sized combatants. Remember its not
wether you win or lose but how good you look while doing it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Arts & Sciences! Do not think we have forgotten the Arts and Sciences,
for they are the wellspring for both heraldry and pageantry. As such, the
challenge for this years A&S competition is Non-martial Heraldic Display.
That's right, best example of heraldic display in any medium NOT on a fighter or
battlefield. And lest the minstrels and troubadours of the land feel neglected
there will also be a bardic competition, for what good are the glories won upon
the field if they are not spread through saga and song. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Merchants Welcome! Merchants are welcome to bring their tents and tables
and set up at no additional cost. On Saturday the park is open to the public and
local foot traffic is expected.</DIV>
