This year, we're lowering our site prices to compete with rising gas expenses. We have a new site, new activities, deluxe hotel accommodations, and of course, More Maidens than you can shake a stick at! (Though it's not polite to shake sticks at ladies. Unless they're fighting you in combat. Or unless--oh, just come to our event. It'll be fun!)
Site opens at 8:00 am; site closes at 11:00 pm. The Illini Union is wheelchair-accessible.
There will be an additional Sunday Fighter Practice. Details are available in a flyer.
