Owlsherst Country 12th Night-Feast of St. Nicholaus

Come celebrate the festive holiday season and Feast St.  Nicholaus with a day of entertainments of music, dancing, gaming and tourneys. 

The Day will begin with a treat for all ages, he may be late, but he has not forgotten about us!  Tourneys for both Armored Combat and Rapier will commence to show your prowess on the Lists.  Lord Jayme Hume of Berwick will lead us in games of all sorts.  Entertainments will be held throughout the day including an Improv Play (will you be chosen to take the stage?); music to delight the ear; a singalong for all to join in.  An A&S Display will be conducted to show off the wonderful artworks produced by members and citizens of Owlsherst.  This is "display only" activity and documentation iz not necessary.

A light dayboard will be provided mid-day.  A feast of Germanic delights will be prepared by Lord Gerhard Stormeclocke will be served at approximately 6:00 pm, listening to the delightful ambience of Harp music by Lady Siobhan the Harper.

Feast:
This year’s feast plays to old German traditions.
Our first course of chicken was chosen because the last meal of the year was chicken.  The chicken scratching backwards for its food reminds us toreflect on the past year.  Think of the good and let the troubles of the past behind.

The second course is a suckling pig.  Just as pigs root forward for their foodwe are to look to the new year with hope for a prosperous year for us and your loved ones.
