[MR] Land Wars 1 announcement

[Denise V. McMahon]

I pray this missive finds everyone enjoying excellent health and that 
those that made the pilgirmage to Pennsic well recovered from their 
journey back!

The Barony of Stierbach and Windmasters Hill will be holding the first 
of two delightful events aimed at poking fun at one anothers assertion 
that it is one or the other Great Barony that has the *most* land.... 
hence, Land Wars... Scathingly brilliant yes?

In order to provide for the populace and to assuage the senses of those 
not martially inclined, we propose to have as many merchants available 
as can fit in the area designated all on one side of the battlefields.
Merchants who are interested in participating should bring their own 
shade and tables.  This event takes place at Prince William County 
Fairgrounds over Labor Day weekend and runs from 5pm, Friday, August 
30th to Monday, September 1st- and fighters, there will be *plenty* of 
fighting on Sunday! Archers- well- you know how much we love archery 
here in Stierbach. Please see the online Acorn for particulars.

Site fee for the weekend is $16 for non-members, $13 for members, and 
50% off for children under 12 (no matter how long you stay). Camping for 
the weekend is $10. Feast on Saturday is $7, and breakfast each day will 
be a nominal cost of $2/day. Sunday dinner will be of simpler fare and 
is $5. Checks payable to Barony of Stierbach, SCA, Inc. Send your 
reservations to Lady Alys of Foxdale (Sally Montuori), 4121 Lees Corner 
Rd., Chantilly, Va., 20151, (703) 802-6385, email: foxdale at wolfstar.com.

Please contact, moi,  Baroness Rowan Berran MacDowell at 
denise at shado.info if you plan on attending. There is plenty of outdoor 
space available. Site fee for merchants is waived (up to 2 people).

 From the South: Take Rt. 95 north to Rt. 234 north. Stay on Rt. 234
