Join us from afternoon through evening for stories and song and food as we celebrate our second Winter Bardic Blast and Feast.

Simeon de Alcacar will coordinate a populace choice bardic competition for those who are inclined toward the art of entertaining. All performances should be under 10 minutes in length, and include an archery theme (bows and arrows optional.) Contact Simeon (tolbert.setht@gmail.com) to register for the bardic competition.

For those with other inclinations, we will also have a table setting competition, hosted by Lady Shoshana Gryffyth. An archery theme is encouraged, but not required.

Lady Veronica Rosso will hold a silent auction to benefit the archery programs.

The site fee includes a delicious feast presented by Lady Shoshana Gryffyth and her kitchen crew. There will be offerings to please the carnivores, omnivores, vegetarians, and gluten-intolerant.
