Please join your friends and family from around the Kingdom (and those traveling from far distant lands) as we witness the fierce competition amongst those who would vie for the Sable Lion Throne of An Tir. The warriors who would claim such title must be fierce in deeds and chivalrous in nature. The finest representatives of these traits will be present at this most worthy of occasions.
September Crown is also the occasion of the Kingdom of An Tir Protector Championship (archery and related), as well as the An Tir Kingdom Equestrian Championship. Both competitions will be glorious to watch.
The location is within the beautiful lands of The Barony of Dragon’s Laire, where Their Excellencies Kloe of Thira and Arion the Wanderer await your arrival. We will do our best to ensure your stay with us is something to bring memories lasting a lifetime.
The site itself is the Kitsap County Fairgrounds, which played host to the recent event of June Faire. Even though it has been more than thirty years since we used this site last, the event was a success and we learned many valuable lessons which will be incorporated into the plan for September Crown.
Hotels are within a very short distance from Site, with all amenities one might need from a thriving city to be found in Silverdale, Washington. You will not lack for anything you might need to enhance your stay.
The Kingdom Calendar is being continually updated with information. A web-site for the event will be found on the Dragon’s Laire Baronial Web-Page ( https://dragonslaire.antir.org/ ), as well as a Facebook Page. Each of these locations are also being continually updated with advertising.

DIRTY DOZEN DONATION DERBY! (Updated 08/30/2022) –
Thank you! Woohoo! I received another entry into the Donation Derby at September Crown!! Please help us make this a great Derby, with many choices to vote on, by entering now! All Donations need to be at the donation table (in the September Crown Arts and Sciences Village) by 8am on Saturday, September 3rd and the populace will vote on the entries until 30 minutes before court, where the winner will be announced and all the largesse that is entered is given to the Crown and the Barony of Dragon’s Laire to give out. I look forward to hearing from you soon!!
Original Posting: We have been having requests, so….I am hosting a Dirty Dozen Donation Derby at September Crown 2022: Saturday, September 3rd, in the Barony of Dragon’s Laire.
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW!
Please drop-off your completed and tagged items at the Donation Derby table by 8am, Saturday, September 3rd. The table location will be announced closer to the day of the event. All Donations will be shared equally between The Crown of An Tir and the Barony of Dragon’s Laire to be handed out at their discretion.
The Dirty Dozen Donation Derby was created as a way to encourage the creation of Largess through friendly competition. The way it works is that entrants create 12 of one kind of item….your choice (see pictures for inspiration). Your items MUST be tagged and ready to be given out as largess immediately.
There are so many amazing ideas for the entries! Children’s toys, candles, soaps, jewelry, jams, silk painted fans, sets of beads, embroidered needle books, felted bowls… anything that maybe YOU would love to receive as Largesse!
This is not an Arts and Sciences competition so you do not need to document your items. However, if you have done a re-creation, please include that information on the tag!
Please include all ingredients for foods, soaps, candles…anything that someone with allergies will need to be aware of. Any scented items need to be sealed well to avoid airborne allergies.
During the event, people come by to see all you have created and vote on their favorite item by dropping a token in that entry’s cup. The winner is the entrant with the most tokens. An announcement about the winner of the derby will be made at the evening court that same day. …and the prize??!! The winner of the derby gets one item from each of the other competitors!!! So let your creative juices flow and get to creating! (Please Share to spread the news. Thank you).
See you at September Crown, THL Diana Cartier (diana.cartier [AT] yahoo.com)
