[Artemisia] Mystery Event and Beowulf Feast

[Ellisif in Sleggja]

<<Please cross-post with reckless abandon>>

Greetings unto the Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, and the fair denizens and Nobles of the Kingdom of Artemisia, from the Mighty Shire of Arrows' Flight:

I bring a missive regarding Arrows' Flight's first event of the year--Mystery Event, scheduled for March 31, 2007.

It's that time of year again for Arrows' Flights' annual "And now for something completely different" event

This year's mystery is ... Where are the Arrows' Flight Archers?!!! This is to be a great event. There will be fighting of both styles with the criteria for prizes to be announced. 

As is tradition (two years now) there will also be a "bad garb" contest with prizes in at least two categories: outrageously awful garb, and mix-and-match garb. So celebrate the end of winter, drag your awful garb out of the back of the closet, and come party with the Shire. 

We will also be holding two bag raffles as shire fundraisers. One is a regular fund raiser with traditional bag raffle items. The other is being used as a desperate attempt to rid the Shire of some really, really awful loaner garb. This will be a Reverse Bag Raffle. Everyone who attends the event will have their names placed in the bag to receive a piece of hideous loaner garb. Participants can pay to REMOVE their names from the bag. Other participants can pay to have those names put right back IN to the bag - with no limit as to the number of tickets that can be placed in someone else's name. Any donations for either bag raffle can be given to Lady Ellisif. Any leftover loaner garb will be summarily disposed of by dragging each piece several hundred miles to Uprising War, pulled behind the vehicles making up the Shire Uprising Caravan. 

Site:The site is the American Fork Senior Center located at 54 E. Main St. in American Fork, Utah.Site opens at 10:00 am and closes at 11:00 pm and is discreetly damp. 
Directions:Take your best route to I-15 and exit #278 in American Fork. Turn West. Stay on this road for approximately 1.1 miles. The site is on your right. There is a parking lot behind the Center, but you have to turn in at the business next door. There will be signs at the site.

M'lord Javier is planning a Beowolf-themed feast that sounds wonderful, so plan on pre-registering early for feast because it will be limited.
