Event start time/check in: 3pm Friday, September 4 Event end/check out: 11am Monday, September 7

Site Fees: (for the entire weekend):

$15 per adult, $8 children ages 6 to 17, children age 5 or younger free. (sorry about the increase the Park fees went up)

This site has two "flushie" bathrooms. There are plenty of shade trees, and a swimming area. It is a "discreet" wet site. This means that we may drink as long as it is not from the original container, and only in our camping area. No kegs allowed. We are not in the same spot as we were the last Wars. The showers are a bit away from us.

The Imperial Crown War events will be held on Saturday, September 5. Sunday will be an Imperial Tournament, and possibly workshops &/or classes. We are required to phone in results to the Imperials within a certain time frame, so we will be running this event on a tight schedule. For Arts & Science Entries: With how hard it can be to round up a plentiful supply of judges, and how much of prior events some of our judges have missed, we would like to ask that Artisans consider this when they plan their number of entries. We are not limiting your number of entries, just asking for your understanding towards those who judge.

Protection Of Minors And Members (Per the By-Laws)

Mundane law establishes an age at which a person may use tobacco or alcohol. Adria's policy is that no under-age person may use tobacco or alcohol (or be under the influence thereof) at an Adrian event site. No person shall use non-prescribed controlled substances or be under the influence thereof at an Adrian event site. No person shall use alcohol or be under the influence thereof at a dry site. Any person who violates the above guidelines shall be asked to leave the event site. Those unable to leave on their own shall be taken off site to an appropriate location by another person as designated by the event autocrat or Crown or other member of appropriate authority. Inability to leave on one's own can be due to:

Too drunk to drive or walk
Dependent on another for a ride
Other

Minors may not spend the night at an Adrian event site unless accompanied by a responsible adult who shall not be under the influence of any judgment-inhibiting substances. Minors shall be supervised at all times by an adult. Minors found unsupervised shall be asked to leave along with the adult responsible for them. Adria has a system whereby a person may confidentially report to the Crown any improper sexual or violent activity. If the Crown finds there to be a reasonable suspicion that the report is accurate, the Crown may suspend the accused person from spending the night at Adrian event sites. The Crown, if local, shall notify the Imperial Crown, who shall determine whether the suspension shall apply Empire wide.

Spending the night at an Adrian event is a privilege, not a right, and thus, the accused need not be proven guilty in an Adrian or mundane court. The accused may petition the appropriate Crown to revoke the suspension at any time. The accused retains all other rights under Adrian and mundane law. The entire process contained in this paragraph is confidential unless legal action is taken (either in Adrian or mundane court). Neither the reporting person nor the accused may discuss the matter with anyone but the appropriate Crown. The Crown may only discuss the matter with the Imperial Crown and the individual parties. If the overnight suspension is to be applied Empire-wide, the Imperial Crown shall notify all local Crowns, who shall make disclosure to autocrats on a need-to-know basis.

The purpose of the previous paragraph is to provide the utmost protection without sacrificing for everyone the fun of overnight events. As being barred from an overnight event can be embarrassing and discouraging, ALL MEMBERS ARE URGED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES WITH THE UTMOST CHIVALRY. It is best to conduct oneself in a manner such that there are no misunderstandings. Potential victims of sexual and violent attacks should protect themselves by avoiding vulnerable and private situations. Potential victims of vindictive false reports should take steps to protect themselves by doing the same. Be aware. Be careful.

The event autocrats and sanctioning crowns are responsible to implement these rules. If members fail to cooperate, call the mundane authorities immediately. Use common sense. Act responsibly. Failure of an autocrat or sanctioning crown to follow these rules exposes the empire to liability. The empire shall hold personally and legally responsible any crown or autocrat who causes this to happen. These rules shall be published periodically, and shall be announced prior to all overnight events.
