Greetings unto the Kingdom of the East from Margarita Kofinpoia Northern Lights Pentathlon Coordinator. Once again the artisans have gathered and brought their wonders for us to marvel at. Fifty in number were they with over a hundred fifty works between them. The judges labored long and very hard this year to give each item due consideration. In the end the following gentles have been shown to have outdone themselves and deserve recognition.

Entrants may receive their judging sheets by sending a self addressed stamped envelope to Maggie Allen, 393 Church Rd, Albany, NY 12203. Please keep in mind that if you entered more than 3-4 categories (you will have 2-4 judging sheets per category) an envelope that will hold half sheets of paper unfolded is preferred (I can probably get them into a regular envelope but it is sometimes tricky). Be sure your sca name is included so I know which sheets to send. If you entered as a group, you need only send one envelope.
I would also like to thank all the volunteers who helped out throughout the day, we could not have done this without out. I would especially like to thank Thorkatla Ulfsdottir & Angharad y Rhosyn ferch Rhain for their work throughout the entire day to help keep things organized along with Matatias, Anastasia and Geoffrey who also helped keep the numbers crunching on track. Also Rowan for her continued help at registration.
I cannot begin to thank the judges enough for their hard work especially judges for Accessories, Embroidery, Jewelry and 1300-1500 costuming as those categories were VERY large this year. Thanks again to Brid nic Shearlais for being our Judge Emeritus. I would also like to thank Katherine Stanhope and Edward MacGyver for the beautiful scrolls they produced for the winners this year (Katherine also judged several categories and then filled in winner's names and items on the scrolls as we tabulated the scores - a long day all in all) and Yvan Wolvesbane for the beautiful pewter award medallions.
Thanks also to all of Glenn Linn for their hard work hosting the event this year (and the Shire of Nordenhall for all the amazing food). Any Northern Region Shires or Baronies that are interested in hosting Northern Lights in the future please contact me.
