Order of Epona Dress Rehearsal
Date: Sunday 2024-03-24
Time: Starts at noon, 12pm
Location: 7300 N County Road 15, Fort Collins, CO 80524
OOE leader: Taylor Swanson
This will be a dress rehearsal for the Order of Epona, in their training facility north of town. They have bleachers to watch from, or you can shoot from the fence around the arena. They will be putting on a show with knights sword fighting and possibly jousting.
There is no cost, but you might want to tip your favorite jouster.
Let's meet at their training facility at about 11:50am. I don't know how long the show is, but I expect it to be about 2 hours.
We will be outside, so dress for the weather.
Thanks,
Mike Barry
