[Linda Kinzy]

As most of us belong to several groups, you will most likely receive this more than once, my apologies.

Birthday Bash XXV - Silver Anniversary

Shire of SilverKeep

January 15, 2011

 

You are cordially invited to attend Birthday Bash XXV - Please help us celebrate our Silver Anniversary!!

 

Our Heavy Fighting tournament will be held in the early part of the afternoon.  This will determine our Shire Champion.  Remember that this site has large windows that allow you to watch the fighting from inside.    Rapier fighting will be held as well as heavy.



Weather permitting, Her Majesty Saige will be attending.  Court will be held at the convenience of Her Majesty.  

 

To help us celebrate the Silver Birthday Bash of SilverKeep, there will be a Keep Building contest, winner to be determined by populous vote.  Entries should be no larger than one square foot, no restrictions on height.  Your Keep may be built of wood, plaster, clay, edibles - pretty much anything goes, so use your imagination!!  

 

An "around the world" feast will be prepared by Kita No Musame.  Feast will include dishes from 11th Century Viking, 14thCentury Spanish, 15 Century Scottish, and more!!

 Feast will be limited to 60.  Reservations are encouraged.  Please send reservation requests to Lady Rozalija asap.   

A&S classes will be taught throughout the day.  Knitting, An Intro to period paints, and making oak gall ink are some of the classes scheduled.  (please bring knitting needles.)  A Lucet demo will be available.  Bring lucets!   

Musicians and bards are most welcome!

A chess tournament will be held during the afternoon.
