[MR] Bright Hills Baronial Birthday, "Feast of Fools", Feb. 9th, 2008 update

[Karen Summerfelt-Hume]

 Tis the drear, dull, cold Winters day.  It seems Winter shall never end, 
Spring never arrive and yet...wait...what is that Sound?
 Why, tis a harp song, perhaps a lark, no...a far distant voice, raised in 
song.  Whatever could possess someone to come out into the cold just to 
sing?  ANd - could that be Laughter? Merriment?

 Listen close, my friend, tis the sound of Bright Hills bards and musicians 
tuning up for our annual Baronial Birthday gathering.  Come, join us as we 
have some fun indulging in a Feast of Fools day!

 There shall be chosen a King and Queen of Misrule, A feast that begins with 
dessert and ends with too much to eat!  Displays and competitions to amaze 
and amuse the populace and for the Ladies Pleasure... the Gentlemen's "Men 
in Tights" competition.  Other pleasantries will be added and set forth here 
for your interest and edification.
