River War II.V

The lines will be drawn in the river once again.  One land rumored to stretch further to the east.  The other land, just looking to keep the lands they have.  Though there might have been a minor rumor of wanting to stretch their lands further to the west.  What better way to put these rumors to rest but to have a minor war. 

Come choose a Barony to support.  Help the Excellencies to put these so-called rumors to rest.  Fighters, Fencers, Brewers, Cooks, Riders and A&S enthusiasts cordially invited to partake in this weekend full of fun and challenges.

Scribal classes

Game Players:  The Amethyst Challenge:
Don't know how to play 'Nine Men's Morris'? Come learn, perhaps win a 27ct faceted Amethyst gemstone!  The challenge will begin with a half hour class on how to play Nine Men's Morris.  Once the class is done, up to twenty people who participated in the class will be selected to play in a three round "Round Robin" competition for points.  Each opposing piece you capture will be one point and, at the end of the three rounds, the person with the highest point total wins the gemstone!  That simple!  So come, play and enjoy.

Equestrian:  Gentles wishing to bring their four legged athletes the event must contact the Equestrian Marshal-in-Charge prior to the event.  Current Coggins test and, if horse is traveling from outside New Jersey, interstate health certificate must be produced before unloading the horse from the trailer.  There will be a challenging course to put both the ride and horse to the test along with a fashion procession. 

Youth:  The steward dares not forget the youth.  There will be both marshal activities and non-marshal activities.  If you would like to volunteer your time please contact the steward.

Merchants are more than welcome and also encouraged.  Please contact Lady Marion Ferch Llewellyn for information ladymarion2@excite.com.  Shhh-there may even room and time for a silent auction. 

Food:  Well, I do not know about you but hearing of all that is planned makes me wonder about the food!  Lady Katya Gordon has taken up the challenge to stave off any fainting spells caused by the hunger of those that dare play the weekend away.  There will be day-board and for those that say a little later into the evening-a feast will be served in a timely fashion after court.
