Unto the populace of Atlantia from the Barony of Stierback comes the
following notice:

Holiday Faire
22 November 2003
Barony of Stierbach

Event Description: The wars are over for the year. The fighters are
returning home after hard fought battles. Now is the time to celebrate with
festivities. Come one, come all to the Barony of Stierbach Holiday Faire
where shopping is the main activity of the day. There will be merchants
aplenty to satisfy the needs of all. As at previous Holiday Faires, there
will be lots of merchants to fill the hall to bursting. This is the event of
the year to come out and find those precious items that you cannot live
without. As in previous years, the quality and quantity of merchants will
keep you shopping all day long.

Marshal Activities: There will be heavy fighting, rapier, thrown weapons,
hound coursing, and target archery for those to fill their time while the
fight got the best plunder for the money (shopping- is shopping really a
Martial ART?) is going on.

Target archers take note – the contest for the Lochmere Arrow (Golden Arrow
of Atlantia) will also be held at Holiday Faire. As normal, a Barony, Shire,
or Canton team is two archers from that group. Each group may have more than
one team.

Feast Information: Beignets and coffee will be available for sale from The
Taste of Creole  (once again) to start the morning off. There will also be a
simple lunch served at a nominal cost. There will be no evening feast at
this event.

Other Information: There will be a silent auction of many varied items.
Arts and Sciences Activities: 'Bags and Baskets' competition?  The object
should be something that you would use to carry stuff in.  Either belt
pouches, pouches, packs--even chests created in fabric arts, leather,
weaving, wood, etc.  After all, you need something to carry your money in,
and later on you need something to carry your purchases home in!
