Stefan,
Lonely Tower is a Barony in Calontir, here is their website http://lonelytower.org/. As for the history of it there are more knowledgeable folks on that. I don't have the exact numbers but the attendance high for Lilies was around 1800 in 2007? and have lost 75 folks per year on average. A large part of 2016's attendance loss though was due to 50th yr but some of it I'm sure was still part of that downward decline. Others would be able to give better year by year attendance numbers.

I’m an outsider to your kingdom and have had the fortune to only get to one Lillies. I enjoyed it, although I found it rather hot. Unfortunately, until I get another kidney, I’m not likely to be able make another.
Anyway, Brendan’s comments raised a couple of questions for me, not having to do with the current subject of tents.

What is/was Lonely Tower? History? any stories?

What have the numbers been? I take it, that the trend has been downwards recently. I think this has been true for Pennsic and Gulf Wars also, but neither do I have the numbers for those either.
Thanks,
Stefan
