Marsh Madness:  The Ides of March
Canton of Misty Marsh by the Sea,   Florence, SC

Winter loosens its icy grasp, and Spring is here.  Come, make merry, and go a 
little MAD in Misty Marsh as we herald in the Spring with a "Come as You 
AREN'T" party!   That's right - throw caution to the wind!  And, just for a 
little while, throw your persona out the window!  Come as someone you are 
NOT!  

Fighting:  Those who would take up arms may test their skills in a number of  
ways, with a  bear pit, and melees planned.   Non-fighters can team up for a 
Bocce Tournament.

Arts & Sciences:  We have all gone a bit mad, and our competitions will be 
based on this premise.  (1)  All items with fur -- trimmed, lined, or other 
(for those who are mad as a march hare), (2) Head pieces (for those mad as a 
hatter),  (3) Embellishments (for those who are moonstruck - a synonym for 
mad),  and  (4) Open.   During Feast, there will be a performance competition 
for Most Creative Request for a Kiss (for those who are madly in Love).  
There will also be a prize for the one who embodies someone most different 
from their usual persona.  Hone up your skills for a bardic circle following 
feast.  

Lunch will be available during the day for a nominal fee, with proceeds to 
benefit the Barony of Hidden Mountain.

The Feast:    will be a simple fare of Beef Stew (vegetarian available, but
