Description:
A Medieval-Renaissance celebration hosted by the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA.org), a 401k non-profit educational organization. This will include people in costumes and sports competitions (fencing, horse riding, target archery) in accordance with the SCA safety rules. There will be pop-up tents for shade. No food/beverages will be sold or provided, participants may bring their own with the exception that NO alcohol is allowed at all. All horses are privately owned (no rentals). There are no tents larger than 400 sqft, so no tent permit needed.

Parking: Sufficient parking is available on the property, so no street parking is anticipated. About 1 acre on the property has been allotted for parting, which is estimated to accommodate 86 cars and 3 truck/trailers (and expandable to 106 cars/3 truck-trailers) based on standard parking space size. At most 3 trucks/horse trailers will be attending. The majority of the participants and activities are not horse related. Also, many of the participants are families, so moderate car-pooling is expected.

For this event duration and participant number, this should be adequate. Please ensure the handwashing station is stocked with water, soap, papertowels and a waste bin at all times. Please note that the property is served by a septic system which is not designed to accommodate an event of this capacity, and therefore the residence bathrooms shall not be used as part of the event. -Please note that Larimer County has a Noise Ordinance limiting sound levels during the day and evening for events. The property is 4.86 acres but there are homes within a few hundred feet. Music and/or participant noise shall be limited to prevent noise levels from exceeding 50 decibels at the property lines.
