[MR] Kingdom A&S Festival....

[Ray Cornish]

Greeting Lords and Ladies, Good Gentles All....

Once again I invite you to the fair lands of Black Diamond for the Kingdom 
Arts and Sciences Festival this weekend on March 3rd.  Details can be found 
at http://www.mephistos.com/a&s/

A few things that are not there that I will share:
All donations beyond the minor expenses will go the the Oak and the Royal 
Travel Fund, equally.

There will be an area for food displays.  Having had some inquiries I 
thought I would share that the autocrat is very fond of food and loves to 
try "new" dishes even if they are a few hundred years old.  So bring your 
favorite dish and share it with one who is I am sure going to be stressed 
and will look forward to the treats on Saturday.

All live performances are welcome as well.  There is a room set aside for 
song, tales, and other entertainments throughout the day.  We in Black 
Diamond, as I am sure the entire Kingdom, are very fond of many forms that 
both lighten our hearts as well as take us to deep emotions.

A number of guilds will be doing consults, demos, and/or providing 
information.  The list includes at least:
Known Wholr Spinners
Glass Workers Guild
Archane's Web
St. Anne's Guild

In addition, the Oak will be present and looking for submissions of your 
fine artwork, research, and how to's.  There will be a pavillion 
construction demonstration, pewter casting demonstrations, and an exhibit 
entitled Sheep to Shaw.

Bear in mind these are only updates and clarifications to the many things 
already listing on the website/in the acorn.

In service,
Raynold of Wharram
