You're talking to the wrong people.  Steppes Artisan pre-dates Laurel Prize 
Tourney, and has been in mid-August for a long time -- since 1990, I think. 
I'm not sure there's any set date for LPT.

In fact, they've been much closer.  The first Laurel's Prize Tourney was 
held in the Steppes, in conjunction with the second Steppes Artisan.
