[MR] Storvik's Baronial Investiture

[Brenna of Storvik]

  First, for those of you coming to Storvik's Baronial Investiture let 
me apologize for the fact that we will not be able to post SCA signs 
along the Highway or in the the city of Upper Marlboro except at the 
Volunteer Fire Station itself.  City rules do not permit signs on public 
property, and Prince George's County requires a Permit to have a sign on 
the highway.  

That being said let me invite you once more to the March 26th - STORVIK

The object can be anything that has a Viking theme but must incorporate

or Baroness's (Gold Flaunches and three Gold Heraldic Roses on a Blue 
Field) colors and depict some aspect of either of their devices. 
Information and descriptions posted to the web site.

Viking Toys By Young Artisans
Any object that could be interpreted as a toy that Viking children would 
have played with or used for entertainment purposes done in any medium.  
Documentation or source of inspiration would count for extra points but 
not needed. Entrants must be under the age of 17.

Viking Sotelty
The sotelty (I also apologize for the misspelling the first time) with 
Viking mythology as it's theme. By definition, a soltelty is a sculpture 
or representation made from edible ingredients that may or may not be 
for public consumption. In this case, we will be tasting all entries so 
please make sure that your creation is made for public consumption. We 
ask that a recipe be included in the presentation.  Sponsored by THL
