As many of you know, Winter Crown Tournament will be held here in Raven's Fort! (January 9, 2014). As can unfortunately happen, our original location was lost, and our secondary location (our first choice discussed at business in November could not be secured prior
to deadline due to their internal policies). After many phone calls, inquiries, and negotiations, and with many sites booked for the designed weekend, <span style="line-height: 18px;">I am very happy to say that an alternate site for Winter Crown Tournament was secured: the H.E.A.R.T.S Veterans Museum of Texas - </span>with use of all the land surrounding both H.E.A.R.T.S as well as the Prison museum. Be on the lookout for sign-up sheets for gate and notices in regards to festivities!</span></div><div class="yiv2885558365MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="yiv2885558365MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">3.
