Join the Shire of Heronter September 25th through 27th for its 16th annual Harvest Raid! We are honored to announce that we will be hosting The King's Championship for Heavy Weapons as well as the Kingdom Thrown Weapons Championship. The event will be held once again at the beautiful Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center ( no street address ) on Rt 430 in Bemus Point, NY and will include a weekend of friends, feasting, fighting, fencing, thrown weapons, archery, arts and sciences, puppet show ...did we mention friends and feasting?

The feast will be an old fashioned pig roast with seasonal side dishes prepared by Cheryl of Heronter (headcook@heronter.org) and is limited to 100 seats.

Fees are as follows:
Site Fee:	$9.00 Adults
Feast Fee:	SOLD OUT!

Tent Fee:	$1.00 Adults (Weekend)

Children (5-12) are half price, those under 5 are free. Students (13-17) will be discounted to half price for the day fee, but knowing how many of them can eat, we must ask the full adult feast price for those who wish to stay for dinner. The site fee includes a sideboard lunch and the camping/cabin fees include a light breakfast on Saturday. A family cap (2 adults and their children) will be set at $70.

Directions:

From the West, South and East: Take your best route to I-86 (former Route 17). Take Exit 10 (Westfield/Mayville) to get to Route 430 West. (From the West it is marked only as Route 430 West. Do not take exit 9 to Bemus Point). Follow the signs for Route 430 West towards Westfield and Mayville. From the exit, it will be several miles to the site (3 or 4 miles depending on where you start counting). You will pass Long Point Park and Midway Park before seeing the Lutheran Camp on your left. The camp is at the top of a long hill next to a huge tree. The sign is difficult to spot, so we will try to mark the spot well. The camp is across the road from a restaurant now called "The Hot Fish Shop".

From the North: Take your best Route to I-90. Exit at the Westfield exit (#60) and take Route 394 to Mayville. Pick up Route 430 East and follow to the site. The site will be on your right and will be marked as above.
