The International Jousting Tournament is taking place in the Houston area for two days next month. Proceeds from the event will support SIRE Therapeutic Horsemanship.
The tournament is set to feature five live jousts, battles, and skills and knowledge courses. The public is invited to watch rehearsals, as well as participate in question and answer sessions with the knights.
Among those who will be giving special performances during the tournament are the Houston Mounted Patrol, the Mini Ventures, the Shadow Hawk Blades, and the Lone Star Vaulters. There will also be a demonstration by SIRE Therapeutic Horsemanship, as well as an auction.
Other activities will include Jumping Orie Storytime and a Saturday Night feast. Camping is available on the tournament grounds.
This event will attract visitors from all over the Houston area. To make sure they know about it, organizers might work with local poster printing companies to create a piece that can be distributed throughout the community.
