June Faire T Shirts Available!

HL Nidda and HL Caius write: We will soon be taking pre-orders for the June Faire t-shirts. They will be red shirts. The image is the same as was shown at practice last fight practice. They will be $8.70 each for a plain Tshirt. Since these are 30 year commemorative shirts the printer is allowing you the option of choosing a special shirt as long as it is red and ordered by May 16th. If you choose to special order your price will be given when you call to order and pay. So you may call the printer and pay by phone or if you want a regular shirt I will be taking orders and money at fight practice each Tuesday until the 15th of May.

We are doing special orders so that you could get a style of shirt you actually like and want to wear if you are not a regular t-shirt wearer. To see the types of shirts available visit inkdgarments.com. The number to order is 360-440-0818.

About the Barony

The Barony of Dragon's Laire is composed of Kitsap County and Northern Mason County in Washington State, USA. It is well known in the community for our annual June Faire which open to the public. June Faire was once called Medieval Faire, the public may know it by that name still. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and ages. We share an interest in the history and culture of the Middle Ages and pursue that interest through the study of combat techniques, arts and crafts, social structures and dress of the period. This study starts in the library and moves quickly to the forge, needle and tourney field for a real hands-on approach. This website provides a glimpse into our world and resources for our members.

The Barony of Dragon's Laire is a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Inc. It is part of the Kingdom of An Tir (Northwest U.S. and parts of Western Canada.) The SCA is a not-for-profit educational organization that studies the history and culture of the Middle Ages by recreating it. The SCA has branches all over the USA and Canada, as well as many parts of Europe, Australia, and Asia. To locate a branch near you check the SCA Web site.
