[Moo] Hidden Mountain Baronial Birthday (fwd)

[Dave Montuori]

Hi all... as this note included many misspelled e-addresses, including 
"herald at stierbach.com" instead of ".org", I figured that I might be the 
only herald in this barony who actually got the note; ergo, I am 
forwarding it on to the barony list as requested. -Evan

Greetings Good Heralds,
I apologize if this missive's contents reach you more than once...  I am 
trying desperately to spread the word to the populace throughout the 
Kingdom of the upcoming Hidden Mountain Baronial Birthday with it's 
correct and true dates of April 23rd - April 25th and full information 
due to last minute date juggling to accommodate a needed Investiture at 
that time.  We were too late to make it into the Acorn for March and the 
current issue lists the old dates and had incorrect contact information.  

PLEASE oh PLEASE... Announce at your next group'(s) meeting and share the 
information via any means you see fit electronic or print.  

It promises to be a grand event celebrating Twenty Years a Barony and the 
culmination of a wonderful rein by Lugman & Julianna with the beginning 
of a new era as new Coronets arise to the challenge.

At your Service,
Lord Andreas de Caunteton
Barony of Hidden Mountain

April 23rd-25th- Hidden Mountain XX
Barony of Hidden Mountain, Bennettsville, SC
Twenty years ago a generous King granted our petition to become a Barony:
Setting our good gentles on the road to what could be...
         
Our journey has not been without risk. Often fraught with perils, our path has also led us to behold great and wondrous things and to experience the warm camaraderie of our fellow travelers. A milestone in our journey approaches. It has taken twenty years to arrive. At this point we ask that you join us as we take pause and reflect upon all that has and shall transpire. We shall honor our past, stand in the midst of our present and look with great hope to our future as we invest our new Coronets.  
It shall be a most joyous revelry, all the more dear with our friends about us.
The milestone is between Bennettsville and Cheraw at Camp Sandy Ridge. It is a lovely site offering us respite in a pine forest with cabins, a lovely hall, easily accessible by all. Tenting is available, ground fires in designated areas only. This is a dry site. Site opens at 5pm on Friday and closes at 10am on Sunday.
        
A fine repast redolent of our journey and times will be served*, presented by our own THL Rowen the Shiftless (Christina Waring), (843) 871-6832 or rowencat at yahoo.com) *Please contact her with any dietary concerns.
          
There shall be Tourneys for all comers, brave and true with Scenarios sure to please. Archery, heavy fighting, thrown weapons, static and bardic arts and sciences are your choices. The theme for A&S is items for a journey (any medium). Of course open display is always encouraged. Our Champions* shall be chosen this day as well, to protect and defend us on our way.
