Event Updates:

1)Due to requests, the Subtlety contest will be reinstated.  Make sure your Subtlety is in the kitchen for formal presentation in the constes 15 minutes before dinner. (A Subtlety is a an edible dish in a fanciful shape, like a gingerbread house, or a fish made of jelly).

2) A shire member has offered to do a "portrait opportunity" with her magical portrait box. Wear your best and smile pretty!

3) Currently we have teachers for a drumming class and one in hair braiding. Braiding is tentatively set for 10:00 am. More would be lovely, and improptu classes are also appreciated.

4) Thank you all for your patience and help.  I submitted my data to the on-line Kingdom Events and it hasn't shown up. EEEKK!

5) Catapults? Did you say catapults? Maybe, but they have to be small and cannot be aimed at people unless loaded with marshmellows.  A small target range, indoors, with designated time for children's use, will be available.  Grown ups must be able to demonstrate good sharing skills to be allowed to play.

Note that the above Weather and Map information is generated from the site address and can be easily confused. The weather will say if its for the branch or for the site.
