<DIV>Greetings all of the Barony of Stierbach! </DIV>
<DIV> This weekend is to be a wonderful one, full
of shooting, throwing, and fighting. But let us not forget the gentler arts
under the shade of tents. Friends of long standing, and friends just met, will
have opportunity to talk, share intrests, wander to the kitchens to help in the
culinary arts, stroll down to the fields and cheer the skilled fighters and
marksmen, drink lots of water, and over all have an delightful day.</DIV>
<DIV> As the Baronial Arts Champion, I encourage each one
of you to further enrich the weekend by bringing your best project of the year
for display. Let all see the skill of your hands! Let all learn the wonderous
variety of talents in this Great Barony! A short paper describing what you
did, how you did it, and why you chose to create it that way is always helpful
to the viewer, as well as any pictures from which you drew your inspiration. I
know there are workers of glass, workers of metal and wood, leathercrafters,
seamstrsses, embroiderers, calligraphers, illuminators, and many other skill not
mentioned. I invite all to bring for display their best project of the
year!</DIV>
<DIV> Furthermore, there is a competiton and display of
creative ways you may hide your valuables from brigands along your journey! How
do you protect and hide your valuables? Create, bring, and share for the
education and enjoyment of all!</DIV>
<DIV> So, I hope to see all this weekend, and to see the
wonderful things the hands in this Barony can create!</DIV>
<DIV>Yours in Service,</DIV>
