Greetings unto the lists!

First, the theme is the Peasant Revolt in Flanders 1323–1328. This means that everything is peasants versus nobles! Be prepared to choose your side.

Next, on Friday night there is a torchlight tournament which will also have drumming and beer! Bring beer. Beer is good for you (21+). At the same time, the nobles will be having a very fancy wine tasting to the tunes of a hammered dulcimer . Bring wine. Wine is good for you (21+).

On Saturday, the MoL table opens at 9 amand archery/thrown weapons starts at 9:30. It is suggested that fighters (and archers) wanting to enter the Fighter Fashion Show (tm) (Sexy and You Know It) prepare, because that starts at 10 (right before the fighting begins for heavy and rapier at 11). For those not participating in the fighting, archery and other items, there are lawn games that will be played at 11 (period games!) and A&S classes (which start at noon).

Speaking of A&S, you can enter ANYTHING into our competitions this year! As long as you can classify it as "courtly" or "domestic", you're in a category! Documentation is requested, but not required and there will also be a populace vote! Even if you aren't entered, please come by and see what the artisans have brought out in favor of their chosen side! Her Excellency, Sacred Stone, has also requested Largesse (any type will be accepted, but the theme of the competition is black & white OR blue, white & gold).

We have many children & youth activities as well for both the youth and their parents! Our (then) Queen, Ysabella, has made time in her schedule to meet and greet all the youth of the event. We look forward to seeing you at the Youth Court Etiquette & Serving Class (taught by Duchess Brianna) and the Queen's Tea Party at 3 pm.

If you are on board for feast, that starts at 6 PM. Seating is provided; you only need to bring yourself and your feast gear.

Saturday night will end with a bardic circle going on outside the castle and inside the castle, the Order of the Phoenix Eye is hosting the first "Art Moot". In the Art Moot, you will have an opportunity to tell people about the arts that you love (with a 5 minute time frame) and then answer questions. This can be any scholarly or artistic topic, and we look forward to hearing why you love the things you love! There is no documentation requirement or judging. This is really a "geek out" session set up like a bardic only more centered on hearing what you know rather than how you perform it.

There's a lot going on for all age ranges and interests! Hope to see you there!!!!

Yours, in Service and Art,
Seigneur Etienne Le Mons d'Anjou
