I have received several inquiries in the last day or so about 
Buckston-on-Eno's event. There are still feast spaces available. Please 
send reservations to Lord Arcturus as listed below. And there is plenty 
of land to set up your tent or pavilion.

Join the Canton of Buckston-on-Eno in the Barony of Windmasters’ Hill 
for a late period camping event in Leasburg, NC.

followed by a mid-day feast prepared by Mistress Clare Hele assisted my

children’s activities. A bardic circle is also planned for the evening.
