To Drive the Cold Winter Away
Come one, come all! Enjoy the pursuits of the finer things in life!
The Dawn Mooseguard,
under the sponsorship of the Canton of Northpass,
within the borders of the Crown
Province of Østgarðr, doth call one and all to experience
An Evening in Alsace
to be held on January 17-18. To further add to the atmosphere,
we wish to beg a boon of
all who wish to attend.
We will be attempting to make this an "Enchanted Evening".
(This is a wish to make the evening more enjoyable and a more complete medieval
experience, not to discourage attendance.)
There will be a prize for the most "medieval" table set,
and no discussion of blatantly non-medieval subjects in the hall.
(Baron Sean has particularly requested that nobody mention SCA politics
to him for the whole evening!)
The autocrats point out that snowball fights are period.
The evening will
contain a sumptuous multicourse feast that will be sure to tempt your palate and
please your senses.
Please contact Lady Andrea Caitlin MacIntire
with any dietary restrictions before January 5th.
The day's activities will
include dancing, fine entertainment, and an arts and sciences competition,
all based on activities that one would do while
wintering in a fine manor.
Tantalize your eyes with sweet visions of winter in our
edible subtlety contest to be judged by Lady Morgaine of Llyn!
The cost of this fine event with overnight lodgings available
for Saturday evening and a warm and filling
sendoff on Sunday will be $20. Please make checks out to: SCA; The Canton of
Northpass and send to the reservations clerk:
