Fourteenth Tournament of the White Hart
"Seek and ye shall find." The Shire of Port Oasis invites all those questing for Chivalry and Love, Enlightenment through Arts, or just a good fight to the Fourteenth Tournament of the White Hart, Celebrating the Return of the Golden Hind, being held March 5-7, 2010 at the Cabell Co. 4-H Camp (6040 Booten Creek Rd, Barboursville, WV 25504).
This year's event will include a Heavy Weapons Tournament with the Inspiring Ladies Gallery, a Fencing Tournament, an Archery Tournament and a Thown Weapons Challenge. If martial arts are not your fancy, there will also be an A&S display to showcase your skill and love of the finer arts. As an added incentive, by Their Majesties' decree, our humble event will also include The Pilgrimage to Nobility, focusing at this stop on the Order of the Scarlet Guard, the Archers of our fair lands.
