[MR] Isenfir's Harvest Festival

[Kirsten Niemann]

Don’t forget, this Saturday, the Shire of Isenfir is holding our  
Harvest Festival in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near  
Charlottesville, Virginia. This event, located at a modern day  
meadery and mead hall—The Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery—will be a day  
of activities, including handcrafting, arts & sciences, cooking, and  
combat events, followed by an evening of pot-luck dinner and dancing.  
So, bring your garb, gear, dancing shoes, and your best period dish.

It should be a beautiful weekend (see Saturdays Weather), so come out  
and join us!
