Viking-themed festival to be held Saturday at Carden Farm Dog Park
Oathbound Events owner Jacob Westerback, vendor coordinator Melissa Malone and social media and event coordinator Kali Spiers model event attire.
Tickets are $7 per person. Kids 10 and under may enter free. Trials tournament entry is $20 per person.
Oathbound Events teamed up with the Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation to help raise donations for the local animal shelter.
If someone donates an item for an animal, the ticket price becomes $5, and every donation will go to the foundation.
“It’s important to us because who isn’t an animal lover?” said Jacob Westerback of Oathbound Events.
“Those animals abandoned and left to fend for themselves don’t have a choice, so it’s nice to be able to give back to such an amazing organization.”
The festival will have more than 40 vendors selling handcrafted goods.
The Crossjacks, a bagpiper, and a flute player, will provide live music.
“For entertainment we have the ruthless and powerful knight squad called Dauntless Armored Combat who compete around the nation fighting other metal knights in an MMA (mixed martial arts) and full weapon battle,” said Westerback.
“We have a tomato-throwing booth to take aim and see if you can stop his taunts.”
Other events will happen throughout the festival days, such as a scavenger hunt and quest for all ages.
Three food trucks and a drink truck will serve food and cold or hot beverages. Gypsy Circus will be selling cider, mead and Atomic Brew beer.
