[MR] Challenge Thank You's

[ldmolly at md.metrocast.net]

Unto the good gentles gathered in the Tavern do Erwin and Mary Isabel,
Baron and Baroness send greetings and a request for your attention. We
wish to thank those who traveled to Challenge of the Heart this weekend.
We thank the artisans for being willing to share their skills with other
and also Maistresse Mathilde for ably coordinating this endeavor. We hope
it will spark additional interest in Artisan's Rows at other events. We
also thank the noble and gallant fighters who tested themselves with sword
and rapier. We praise those who were willing to set aside base ego and
bend themselves to the will of the Ladies Gallery (although We feel honor
bound to warn Baron Donal that We did reveal to the fighters the source of
many of the more challenging questions. You may wish to increase your
personal guard, smile). To the beautiful and gracious ladies of the
Gallery- I asked for inspiration for the fighters and you did not
disappoint. Thank you to all of our attendees for being willing to try
some new ideas and formats and for making the day magical. We thank those
who showed up and those who helped out. We could not have done this
without each and every one of you.

To our beloved Barony...you did Us proud. There is no praise that could
cover the pride We feel for you all right now. Each and everyone of you
brought your best selves to the event. We were pleased that so many in the
Kingdom were able to discover what We already knew...that Dun Carraig is a
most remarkable Barony. We are proud to serve you, and the kingdom. We
remain,
Erwin and Mary Isabel
Baron & Baroness of Dun Carraig
