  Holiday Faire

Barony of Stierbach - Saturday, November 19, 2005

The wars are over for the year. It has been a profitable year for all.  
The
fighters are returning home after hard fought battles and they return 
with
bounty.  Now is the time to celebrate with festivities.  Come one, come 
all to
the Barony of Stierbach Holiday Faire where shopping is the main 
activity of the
day.  There will be merchants aplenty to satisfy the needs of all.

Martial Activities: There will be heavy and rapier fighting indoors and 
outdoor
target archery for non-shoppers to fill their time while others shop. 
Note:  The
traditional Lochmere Arrow Shoot will be held at Holiday Faire. For
