Half-whispered mutterings have reached our peaceful Shire of  Côte du Ciel, foreshadowing the resurgence of the dark Zucchini armies.  Fearless and noble warriors of the realm, hear our plea for aid!  If our fair lands are overrun, then yours also shall surely be swept away in oppressing tide of squash-laced bread dough.  To arms!

In preparation for the coming conflict, join us in fellowship at our forested and well-shaded event site, which has been significantly expanded this year to add a wealth of parking and camping options. RV areas and individual campsites are available on first-come first-served basis.  If camping is not your thing, but you would like to experience a nice relaxed event, there are many reasonable hotels in Brigham City.

Box Elder Campground, Mantua, Utah.  Online maps are available.

Site Restrictions:
Site opens at 12 noon on Friday, September 20th, and closes at 12 noon on Sunday, September 22nd.
