The Falton Festival will be August 5. We will be celebrating our freedom from the Roaman oppressors!
- 5:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Festival — games and competitions where the winners get awarded with Shillings! (we’ve added an hour to our festival time)
- 10:00 p.m.-11:00ish — Open Mic at the amphitheater (no movie)
5:00-5:30 Assign clans. Coordinate with your clan for how to win the day. Make a flag (supplies provided).
5:30-6:00 Group picture. Vote on the “winner” flag. Receive the challenges that before the end of the day, each clan needs to write a poem that tell’s your clan’s story and to prepare a clan chant. (Start on this now if you’d like. Some will call it cheating — I call it being an “A” student.)
6:00-6:45 Play Capture the Flag. Points are awarded for opponent’s flags, for resources, and for having a campfire going at your camp when the game ends. Health and respawn rules will be detailed before the game.
6:45-8:00 Dutch Auction competitions such as:
- Best impression of a “Guilder-arian”
- Longest scream
- Best yodeling
- Caber toss
- Celtic dance contest
- Wellington toss
- Steal the bacon
- And such pleasantries…
8:00-8:45 Eat hot dogs & snacks. Marshmallow roasting contest.
8:45-9:30 Costume scramble. Retrieve items from a pile of costume items and dress a member of your clan to look like a specific type of character. This character will then be interviewed. Awards given for best dressed, most creative, and best role-playing.
9:30-10:00 Buffer (seems like we always run long.)
10:00-11:00 Open Mic!!! (Please keep presentations in the 1-4 minute range. You’re welcome to “perform” more than once, time permitting. Warning: We will have a timer and a “Vaudeville Hook”… 😉
Reminder: As a Falton Festival, there will be no hidden treasures, nor resources. The Bank, Tavern, Inn will be closed so the Proprietors can join the fun.
SEE YOU THERE!!!
