Below is event information for Inter-Baronial Twelfth Night 2008; I
hope everyone can join us for a fun-filled day.  Also, let me stress
again that I will be ecstatic to hear from anyone who can teach dance

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

As the Yuletide holidays draw to an end, join us in celebrating the
season's finale – Twelfth Night. Tir-y-Don looks forward to hosting
our neighbors from Marinus for a day of warmth and good cheer. Their
Excellencies Jean-Claude and Alyna will be selecting their next
Baronial Artisan, and all artisans are sure to enjoy the day's many
activities. Enter a competition, perform a song, dance into the night
– or simply enjoy a day to visit and exchange gifts with friends from
near and far.

SITE AND DATE: Inter-Baronial Twelfth Night will be held on Saturday,
January 26, at Saint Martin's Episcopal Church, 1333 Jamestown Road,
Williamsburg, VA. The church is handicapped-accessible and handicapped
parking is available near the front entrance. Site restrictions: no
pets, no smoking indoors, no hard liquor (beer and wine are allowed,
no original containers please). See website for directions and
details.

ARTS & SCIENCES: Their Excellencies Jean-Claude and Alyna will be
selecting their next Baronial Artisan from among the Barony's many
skilled gentles. There will be other static competitions with various
themes, as well as a performing-arts competition. Classes include a
critical tasting discussion for brewers and those interested in
brewing. See website for more details.

No traditional Twelfth Night celebration would be complete without
dancing! A dance lesson in the afternoon will be followed by an
evening dance masque – masks are encouraged (enter yours in the A&S
competition!) and everyone is invited to stay and dance or just enjoy
the music and company.

*We are still seeking a dance mistress or dance master - if you would
be willing to teach dance, please contact the autocrat. She will be
very happy to hear from you!*
