[MR] 9th Annual Siege of Glengarry--Sylvan Glen Announcement

[Raven Styx]

Ninth Annual Siege of Glengary
Shire of Sylvan Glen
Hedgesville, WV  (New and Improved Site!)
September 24-26, AS 39 (2004)
Co-sponsored the Shire of Sylvan Glen
and the Barony of Highland Foorde

Important Update----Date, site, and price changes!

Long envious of our lush valleys and fertile
farmlands, the Barony of Highland Foorde is once again
rallying the armies of the mighty Kingdom of Atlantia
to attack our small shire in an effort to take our
bounty for their own. We have faced this threat before
with the help of our friends and allies, but there is
reason for great alarm this year, as we fear that the
Atlantians have discovered the source of our shire’s
prosperity.

For generations, the Sylver Apple of Sylvan Glen,
bestowed upon us by the Great Sylver Stag, has
provided us with bountiful harvests and good fortune.
It has been our most jealously guarded secret, but now
that it has been revealed, what will become of Sylvan
Glen?

Join us as we rediscover our past and fight for our
future at the Camp Frame
4-H Campground. This new site features a 350-seat
feast hall, lots of room for classes, an indoor
fencing arena, and 200+ bed Viking longhouses
(dormitory style cabins) and best of all, there is a
decrease in the camping fee even with all of these
amenities. The site is wet, and pets are allowed as
long as their owners clean up after them. The address
is :  Camp Frame Rd (no street number), Hedgesville,
WV, Sept. 24-26, 2004. The site will open on Friday,
Sept. 24 at 6 pm and close on Sunday, Sept. 26 at 4
pm.

Activities will include fighting, archery, fencing, a
feast for 60, classes, and an
A & S competition with the theme “Castles:  Forts of
Fancy”. Entries may be in any media such as but not
limited to textiles, woodwork, even food for the
clever culinary craftsman as long as it features
castles in some form. The winner shall be declared the
Keep of Glengarry. Children are encouraged to enter,
and the winner shall be named the Assistant Keep of
Glengarry. The adult A&S competition will count as a
siege point.
A feast for 60 is being prepared by Lady Theodora
Quenell. Dietary concerns may be sent to her at: 
ladyquenn at aol.com or 304-263-4330. Those wishing to
