She had never in her life felt so desperate for someone to talk to, so she made her way over to the area where people were getting ready to partake in the karaoke and feeling foolish, she added her name to the ever-growing list of names, hoping that they would be going in list order so that she would at least have time to prepare. This had so much potential to go wrong, but not much could be worse than being rejected by a parent. “I can do this...” She mumbled uncertainly to herself.

“They should really get rid of the egg toss and go with the Wonderland pie eating contest instead. I mean it helps that I’d demolish everyone, but it’d really be a public service for everyone given how many people end up accidentally yolked because these kids can’t aim. I mean even an egg and spoon race would be better.”

Get excited, Auradonians! Those of you who were here last year remember that August 11th is Robin Hood and Maid Marian’s anniversary, and in the Westerly region, this is celebrated every year with an annual field day and archery contest. Attendance at this field day is totally optional, but in case you wanted to post threads of your characters attending, please use the asuevent013 tag.

Here’s a timeline/outline of the day:

From 9 a.m. to noon will be our morning activities. These include:

Archery (Beginner’s Bracket)

Archery (Intermediate Bracket)

Archery (Advanced Bracket)

Badminton

Horsebackriding

Swimming

Canoeing

There will be a break from competitions from noon to 1:30 pm, where people can get lunch and enjoy the ren-fair like booths set up in the area without worrying about missing out on participating in or watching the games.

At 1:30 p.m. will be the “main event” – the expert archery contest. Nothing else will be taking place at the same time as this, although all food booths, etc. will still be open.

From 3 to 5 pm will be the more traditional field day team games – things like tug of war, sack race, egg toss, etc. Feel free to get creative with what kind of silly activities are in this part of the day! I’ve seen talk on the dash of families competing in this, but friend groups are also welcome.

At five p.m. will be the two eating contests – pie eating for those who love sweets, and hotdog eating for a more modern-day competition feel.

I just looked at least year’s event and it should be taking place on Sunday, August 11th! We’ll get info posted up this weekend so those who want to participate can, but we’re planning for it to be a more lowkey event, like this year’s King’s Day.
