Subject: ANNOUNCING: Feast of the Thirty (Long)
Date: 11 Apr 92 19:59:13 GMT
Organization: Canton of Falcon Cree, Barony of Nottinghill Coill

Unto the dwellers of the Rialto doth Elwood Wayward give Greetings and
Salutations!

Having discovered that the Canton has access to the Rialto, my lord
Baron and Lady Baroness have asked that I post the following announcement
to the Rialto(and apologize for the short notice):

			Hear ye!	 Hear ye!
	Be it known that a State of War exists between the Baronies of
			Nottinghill Coill and Sacred Stone
			
				Come one, come all to

				THE FEAST OF THE THIRTY

				   April 24-26
	Noble fighters who would advance the cause of justice pay heed!

The Barony of Sacred Stone has laid siege to our forces.  Rather than
continue the siege with great loss of life, it has been agreed upon that
our noble forces and allies shall meet on the field of combat.  IT IS
WAR!

COMBAT:  The field of combat will be at Camp Buckhorn of Paris Mountain
State Park and will include FIELD BATTLE WITH COMBAT ARCHERY, FIELD
BATTLE WITHOUT COMBAT ARCHERY, WOODS BATTLE WITH COMBAT ARCHERY, and a
BARONESS' CHOICE BATTLE(with weapons forms to be announced).

A&S:	Respite will be available in the main hall where an open Arts
and Sciences display will be exhibited.  Now is the time to show off
your handiwork.  An A&S competition will be held with the award going to
the most -uh- UNUSUAL "period" item.  (Nothing live or killed for the
purpose, please)  This will include competition for "creative
documentation."

FEAST:	The Feast of the Thirty will be prepared by the reknowned Aaron
Forrester and Stephen of the Abbey of the Black Rose.

BARONIAL COURT:  Baronial Court will be held whenever the Baron feels
like it.

After the feast, a BARDIC CIRCLE will be held under the stars for no
extra fee on a first come, first served basis.  Sign up at the Troll
Table.  Camping available off site for $10 payable to the Park.  Camp
sites are NOT walking distance.  This is a DRY SITE!

		WARNING--BRING A FLASHLIGHT!!
