Bardic Skills Contest
Sign up for the Bardic Skills Contest. Join in this light hearted contest which will be judged by a show of hands Saturday evening. You can Sing, dance, tell stories or recite poetry. If your tale or song includes a life lesson all the better! Presentations will be interspaced during the day Saturday. Please limit your presentations to no more than 8 minutes. Sign up by sending an email with your name and title of performance for introduction purposes to info@druidCall.com or you can sign up on site.
Ritual Wear
The group venue is actually quite private from the rest of the park. Please feel free to bring and wear ritual wear or not as you prefer. Saturday we'll have rituals morning and evening and seminars all day so you may want to wear something comfy underneath your robes so you can slip them off easily. On Friday and Sunday comfortable casual wear is probably your best choice.
Crafts, writings, Druid Art, etc.
Please feel free to bring crafts etc. to show off. We'll set up a table for folks to display stuff on. We'd love to see your handiwork and talents! Low key personal sales are acceptable in the group shelter.
Vendors
We will have a few select vendors selling books, herbs, gifts, etc. TShirts with the Druid Call image can be ordered with prepayment.
