[MR] February 17 - A Day in the Middle East (Barony of Dun Carraig)

[Otto von Schywz]

Due to a mix-up with the event flyers for Dun Carraig's event and Ponte
Alto's event in February, I am posting the flyers for both events as they
should have been in the Acorn.  I apologize for any confusion that this may
have caused.  - Otto

We invite you to spend a day in the medieval Middle East. This year we will
also be treated to the presence of their Majesties in full Turkish regalia
as they invest our new Baron and Baroness. There will, of course, be the
usual drumming, dancing, and enough fabulous food & drink to keep all
attendees energized throughout the day.

by Newcomer (ME persona for less than a year). The event will also feature
