[lady_esperanza at cox.net]

What a wonderful day we had at Stierbach Baronial Birthday!!! The Rapier 
fighting was marvelous to watch as well as the Heavy fighting. The Arts and 
Sciences, so many displays, we were awe struck to see so many fine works from 
our populace. We really enjoyed the first ever, House Turniva Pentathlon. It was 
a great addition to the event and brought out an interesting display of tasty 
bacon. The Archery range had many fine targets for people to select their 
favorite, it also included atl atl. The Equestrian activities were a site to be 
hold, more horses then last year and there was even jousting and mounted archery 
later in the day. The singing at the Bardic was a delight and His Majesty even 
sang Majestically for us at feast, a feast that was both tasty and filling.  The 
silent auction raised 450.00 dollars for the Kingdom Travel fund which we were 
very proud and even bought a few things ourselves.
