Joyeux Noël!

Welcome!

Join us in “The Land of Big Fun” for the annual celebration of Yule with a decidedly French flair. We will host archery, rapier and heavy combat tourneys, as well as the Barony’s storied, fabulous feasting, ridiculous poetry contest, and legendary, raucous gift exchange. We will also have a Newcomers’ Class and exciting children’s activities. This is also the annual Toys for Tots event for the Barony. Primitive camping will be available on-site beginning on Friday.

December 12-14, 2025

Toys for Tots Drive

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

Please bring NEW, UNOPENED toys to the day of the event to help this wonderful cause. We also accept cash donations. The United States Marine Corps’ annual toy drive is one of the most important activities of the Barony every year. Corpsmen will be on-site to accept all the donated toys. Please, no toy guns, used toys, Playdough, or stuffed animals. Also, please do not store them in a smoky area prior to bringing them to the site. You can drop off your toy donations at the reservation desk when you arrive, and you will be given tokens or tickets.
