DRAFN'S 30th ANNIVERSARY

July 9th -12th, 2009

Let all men know From the Baltic to the Black Sea that the time has come for the 30th Lemming Gathering

The facility: We will be camping at the Horse Heaven camp site on Mount Laguna. We have rented two sites: Buttercup and Hollyhock camp sites (more space and more parking). The camp is surrounded by acres of pine forest. Temperatures are nice even when the rest of the east county is sweltering.

This will be a camping event. There is running water and out-houses of fine perfume for your use, but no showers. Garb is required for the weekend.

Costs: The entire four days and three nights will be a mere $40 per person for anyone 18 and over (physically, not mentally) Youths from 13 to 17 years of age are $25, and Children to 12 years are free. There will be no day tripping price break.

Included in your entry is:
Friday night dinner
Saturday breakfast provided by House Lokihiem
Rising STAR is providing a lunch of Hot dogs, chili, and chips for all of Drafn
Saturday night feast
A Drafn Anniversary t-shirt

Send your money by July 4th to:
Diane Granander (Kara)
Make checks payable to Drafn.
Please include your T-shirt size

What you need to provide: Food and drink for the weekend (except for the Friday &Saturday night feast), Garb (this is a costumed event), Feast gear (for Saturday night), and what ever else you need to survive the weekend.

Directions: From San Diego take Interstate 8 East to the Sunrise Highway exit #47. Turn left (north) and drive about 13 miles north on Sunrise Highway through the town (don’t blink or you will miss it) of Mt Laguna. The Horse Heaven Campground entrance is on the left. There is a sign (on your right) but if you are driving fast it is easy to miss. If you reach the Al Bahr Shrine camp, you have gone too far. There are three camp sites, we are the one at the end and the one farthest in on the right side (Buttercup and Hollyhock).

Drafn Champion: Dust off you axes spears and bows. On Saturday we will once again be holding a series of contests of Viking skill to select new Drafn Champions. There will be an open category, and a Women and Youth category for women and youth 14 and under. The competition will consist of:

1. War Tourney (Drafn round, and ax or war weapon 30” or less) or Boffer Contest
2. Single handed Axe throw
3. Archery (twenty yards, six shots)
4. Tequila Crossbow Duel (anyone over 21 must drink to enter)
5. Spear Toss
6. Hammer toss
7. Saga Writing - one to four pages, Plan ahead start writing now!

We will do our best to have equipment to loan, but you will do better if you bring your own. Volunteers are needed to help with the games and festivities.
