[Gene Bonar]

Hi it's me again,

What follows is the flyer for the event called Celtic Cattle Raids

Sept 20-22 - Celtic Cattle Raids
Canton of Nimenefeld - Holly Springs, NC

Our fearsome foe from the North are attacking us to steal our Cattle and we
can not let that happen. So rise oh sons of Eire and protect our land and
processions from the evil Northmen.

Celtic, Celtic, Celtic. We're going to have Celtic Food, Celtic A&S, Celtic
Beer, Celtic Fighting, Celtic Children's Games, Celtic Air, Celtic Water,
etc. So are we getting the theme here.

Combat: There will be many scenarios and the prize of each is a cow or a
bull. At the end of the day the team with the most cattle will win the day.
Everyone will choose to be on the Windmasters' Hill team or the Stierbach
team.

A&S: The A&S competitions will be anything Celtic. You will get extra points
if your entries are cow related (leatherwork, cheese, horn carving, etc.)

The royal brewer will be sponsoring a brewing competition.

Children's Activities:There will be a castle to attack and much activities.
Some of the events might be messy so bring a second change of clothes for
the children. There will also be a demo of the youth combat for all to see.
