[Artemisia] RaWR Thank Yous!

[John Farmer]

I would like to take a moment to thank a few people who made it possible for 
Tangl and I to survive Raptor War Returns 2.  To start, Thank you to 
everyone who came to the event, because of you, the event was a huge success.

Now, to get a tad more specific:

Drathen and Ash: Your support and work at the site made everything possible. 
Drathen was one of two people who went through and created all the pathways that 
made walking around the site much easier. Ash built most of the firepits 
and helped get the wood stacked. They also were kind enough to keep Tangl and I 
fed throughout the event.

Yurgen and Brindi: Thank you for remembering everything anyone else forgot! 
Yurgen and Brindi supplied the weedwacker we used to make the paths, the clipers 
that we used to cut branches away and sage from the roads. Yurgen also worked 
with Drathen to cut down the paths.

Zianna and John of York: Your upbeat spirit and can do attitudes kept everything 
positive. Anything we needed done, John and/or Zianna were right there asking, 
"How can I help?". I'm pretty sure you both had at least three of you to cover 
all that you managed to get done!

Magdelina, Amaya, Jane, and Selthos: Thank you for coming up on Thursday and 
helping getting everything set up. We couldn't have done it without you!

Desdemona: Thank you for letting us use your truck and coming out before the 
event to help get it prepared. Your work made everything possible.

Mathys: Between helping get the site setup with your push weedwacker before the 
event, and figuring out how to get power for the "Bard in the Box", your 
assistance is greatly appreciated!

Sebastian: Thank you for helping prepare the site and providing your amazing 
desserts.

Kveldulf: Thank you for helping to get the site prepared. Kveldulf fetched all 
the rocks that were ringing the fire pits as well and being available for 
anything that needed done. 


I also want to thank Giliana and Braden for setting up the archery shoots, Beorn 
for the thrown weapons, Danielle for the Equestrian activities, Erin and Carol 
for the children's activities, Porthos and Ce'Nedra for taking care of her 
Highness and their Excellencies, Susanna for the Friday Night Welcome Dinner, 
Blaise and Gomez for the rapier tournaments, Ronan and Fernando for the Heavy 
Fighting, Riann for running the Reeve table, Gunvaldr for keeping us all safe, 
Antonia for bringing her dog course, even though we ran out of time, and Elidgh 
for showing up just so she could put on the Bardic. You all worked hard and did 
an amazing job.

I also want to thank Her Highness Saige for coming all the way out to Arn Hold 
and Their Excellencies from One Thousand Eyes, Baron Robert the Lost and 
Baroness Ariel of York. You all were a delight and made the weekend special.

I also want to thank our teachers; Tianna, Kveldulf, Una, and Martin. From what 
I hear all of your classes were excellent.

Finally I would like to thank Sam and Lee Blackwell for allowing us use of their 
beautiful land, providing the watertruck, and coming out and asking so many 
wonderful questions.

Thank you all, the weekend was amazing because of you.
