At Yule you will have the opportunity to make a
pilgrimage to relics of Stargate's past. Each pilgrim
station has a Stargate relic and will test your
pilgrim skills to gain golden pilgrim tokens. Tests
include getting to know your fellow pilgrims, camel
racing, traveling through a maze where a past pilgrim
ghost bids you to stay, and more. The pilgrim team
with the most tokens will recieve a basket of pilgrim
goodies. Beware thieves who will try to delay your
journey and steal your tokens. The onsite pilgrimage
begins after morning court and will end at 3:00 pm.

There will also be a costume contest. The first will
be for the best pilgrim costume. All pilgrim types
welcome. So don't be a chicken...go pilgrim and show
your Pilgrim's Pride. The second contest is for
general in theme costumes that would be present in
Constantinople. Byzantine, middle eastern, crusaders,
spice traders, vikings...you get the picture. Prizes
given for the top costumes.

If that was not enough, we have classes to offer too.
Classes on Pilgrim History, Scribal Arts, A button up
your Christmas-button making class, Finger-loop
braiding, and Dancing will be offered from 11:00 am to
4:00 pm.

EXTRA: Due to the theme, we are providing those who
are interested a different dining experience. There
will be low tables for those who wish to dine in a
more relaxed pose. So bring your rugs and floor
pillows. Regular tables will also be present and we
encourage all to decorate their tables for this
festive day.


Safe Travel to All,
