<p style="margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THROWBACK! There is a competitions that celebrates a throwback to your</span><br>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cut, with baronial selection being the final determinate. Bribes might be</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">useful. Keep it light and keep it funny ? it will be too hot for it to be</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">serious! Throw your mind back to when you started playing with A&S and go</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">for it! Documentation is stating the premise, about when it happened, and,</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">if not Atlantia, where. Make it East/Atlantia if it would have been</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Atlantia but it was before the great divide. As an example the recent</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">similar but more elaborate competition was the Disney inspired one.</span></p>

on how it was made, how it was used, and if it was created en route. Your topics may inspire others even if a physical item is not present. Don't forget about soft goods (textiles and the like), past times (games, jokes, songs, swindles, etc), food, or armorments
for yourself, your forces, or your animals. All categories will have a youth division and space is available for display (non-competition or off-topic art or science). Limited tables will be available. Please bring table coverings and personal tables if you
are able.</span></p>
