It’s a lovely day for a festival, and the townspeople have gathered to celebrate St. Urho, when ships are spotted over the horizon. Raiders have come for the town’s treasure, and the people answer the call to defend their village. Who will win the coveted treasure chest of St. Urho? Join us for a great day of fighting with a melee scenario and ending with a wounds-retained Bear Pit tournament in honor of Sir Axel.
Lore tells us that St. Urho chased the grasshoppers out of Finland. It’s convenient that this celebration gets the Finns into the bars a day before the Irish!
