TBD—“Meet the Peers”
We celebrate the Bardic Arts with our traditional Bardic competition to be held during the evening feast. There will be contests in storytelling, vocal and instrumental music. Extra consideration is given for period styles and pieces in this contest. Don’t be shy, we love getting new people to enter their first Bardic contest. A Subtlety contest will be held with the entries presented at the feast. (You don’t know what a subtlety is! Scandalous! It is an edible work of art, as simple or as complicated as you like. Examples include gingerbread houses, or cakes that look like something else.)
Other contests include: Children’s equestrian games, children’s coloring contest, a “Best period item from shipboard” contest (extra points for documentation). It is absolutely not true that we are having a pirate-ship building contest. We have decided to have a pirate fleet building activity. (No, this is not a troop build-up in order to attack the Kingdom of the West. Darn.) We have several volunteer admirals, all of whom meet the minimum requirement of being over 18 and trustworthy with scissors. The crewmembers who sign up with them will each build a little craft of their own (probably of tag board), and work together to help build a flagship for their little fleet. A Grand Regatta will take place at the feast to display their work for the members of the high table.
What’s a pirate activity without a treasure chest? We hope to leave a treasure by filling an old trunk with non-perishable food items to donate to the food bank of our generous hosts, who also let us use this building for our winter fighter’s practice. If you are so inclined, you may bring a donation to fill the chest.
