Spanning two joyous weekends in January, the celebration will be filled with thrilling tournaments, bountiful feasting, lively music, and endless laughter. The finest merchants, most talented entertainers, and masterful cooks from across the realms have been summoned to make this the most magnificent celebration yet!
Among the honored guests is none other than the Sheriff of Nottingham—drawn to Viera by both the Count and Countess’ legendary hospitality and the promise of his monthly fee for protecting the land from the infamous Robin Hood and his so-called band of outlaws. The Count and Countess graciously welcome the Sheriff and his sizable entourage, assuring him that payment will be presented on the grand Chessboard Stage.
But all is not as it seems…
Word has reached Robin Hood and his loyal companions that the Sheriff is playing a double game—impersonating Robin’s men to plunder the people of Viera, all while demanding coin to defend them from the very same threat.
Outraged, Robin vows to confront the Sheriff and reveal his treachery before all.
The stage is set. Loyalties will be tested. Truths will come to light.
Join us for a thrilling game of Battle Chess, where beloved characters from the adventures of Robin Hood face off in a dramatic showdown. Who will outwit the other and claim victory in Viera?
Come and find out!

Space Coast Crew is the sport team of Space Coast Crew Boosters, Incorporated, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, established in 1996 to promote the sport of rowing among Brevard County scholastic students in rising grades 5-12. The team was initially formed in 1989 with 22 young women as a club under the direction of John Harbaugh and head coach Pops Atkinson.
Space Coast Crew started when multiple High School rowing teams in Brevard County came together to share resources and equipment. What started as a collection of multiple teams quickly grew to become one club team. From there, the club grew to add more and more student athletes and competitive programs and divisions. Today, over 25 years from our founding, our club serves Elementary, Middle, and High School student athletes from all over Brevard and we run programs for roughly 150 Youth student athlete members between all our programs. We are committed to teaching rowing while simultaneously using the natural lessons that come with our sport to teach youth how to work hard, be patient, and set goals.
We are a parent run, volunteer organization with a professional coaching staff. We depend on parents, community volunteers, and community donors to operate, manage, and maintain our wonderful programs.
