[Jean-Richard deHolloway]

12th Night Celebration
Barony of Gryphon’s Lair
January 10th, 2009

Unto the Kingdom of Artemisia, hearty greetings!  The holiday season is fast upon us and you are hereby invited to join in the festivities and merriment of Barony of Gryphon’s Lair annual 12th Night Celebration.  The winter winds are descending from the north and it’s time to settle in the Great Hall with friends and family from far and wide, to share in the warmth of camaraderie and fellowship.  Come experience the hospitality of the Lair’s populous during this, their High Court event!

The feast this year is an orchestral experience conducted by Lady Gwynnyth.  As Head Cook, Lady Gwynnyth will lead the award winning culinary team that rose above the competition to win the Uprising Iron Chef!  The feast will have several removes and is promising to be quite exceptional!  Feast will be limited to the first 50 reservations, however, there should be ample room “off board” for those not participating in the feast.  Reservations for the feast are due by 1/1/09.

To add to the grandeur and splendor of the Lair’s High Court, this year at 12th Night there will be the Barony’s very first ever Grand Processional by Order of Precedence.   With this in mind, be sure to wear your High Court splendor!

An Arts and Sciences display is also planned so come and show the Lair what you have been working on or have completed.   Just a reminder, Baron Math and Baroness Daria will choose the next Arts and Sciences Champion of the Barony of Gryphon’s Lair through these displays.  Displays have been set up at all of the Lair’s events and entrants chosen as Baron and Baroness’ favorites.  Their Excellencies will note all the entrants from all of the past displays and choose an over-all winner that will then become the next Arts and Sciences Champion.  Minimal documentation is encouraged but not necessary.

Due to the nature of the site, it is dry and pets are prohibited!
