[MR] A&S at Challenge of the Heart (Nanjemoy, MD)

[ldmolly at gmpexpress.net]

Reminder: The Barony of Dun Carraig's Challenge of the 
Heart is coming up June 24-26 (in Nanjemoy, MD) and we've 
got some really fun things planned for A&S:
1) "Best Token of Love in Any Medium". Traditional 
contest, documentation is required and the winner will be 
determined by the Baroness and the judges of her choice.
2) "A&S Projects that DIDN'T work": fun contest. 
Documentation is not required, but entrants must note what 
the object  was supposed to be, what went wrong and what 
lessons were learned. The winner will be determined by the 
A&S Officer (me) with special consideration given to 
tragically humerous projects.
3) Brewing Contests sponsored by Lord Michael von 
Schonsee: Best Beer/Ale, Best Wine/Mead, Best 
Cordial/Non-Alcoholic, Best Novice (Brewing less than 1 
year...you not the entry). An ingredients list is required 
for each brewing entry.
3) Open Display: No documentation is required, but 
entrants are eligible to be chosen as the next Baronial 
A&S Champion. (Note: you do not have to live in Dun 
Carraig to be selected as the Champion, but we would ask 
that you consider playing with us often, smile)
4) Artisan's Row: Traditional meet & greet. Bring your 
working displays and projects. Participants are encouraged 
to  demonstrate their art & answer questions from the 
populace. We have asked members of the Laurel and Pearl 
lists to take some time to visit with the artisans in "The 
Row", providing feedback and encouragement. Please let me 
know if you are planning on participating in the Meet & 
Greet so that adequate provisions and accomidations can be 
prepared.

I'm especially excited about the "A&S Projects that DIDN'T 
work" Contest. I've got TONS of those. Too bad I need to 
 remove myself from the competition, grin.

I hope everyone reading this will consider coming to the 
event. We've also got a Ladies Gallery that will be dimmer 
 without your company. If you have questions about the 
planned A&S competitions and displays (or the Ladies 
Gallery) please contact Baroness Mary Isabel of 
Heatherstone at MOAS at DunCarraig.net.
