[MR] St Urho's Thank You's

[Wayne Remes]

I think the threat of rain, hail and tornados may have, understandably, kept some people away, as such I would especially like to thank all of you who did attend. While attendance was a little light this year (About 50 or so I think), we still had a great time. We even turned a small profit. The heavy fighting got cut a little short when the lighting started, and there really were no armored youth fighters in attendance, so the Youth armored MITs helped run an unarmored fight practice. The Kubb tournaments went over quite well. The dancing was energetic and we got most of the people on the dance floor at least once.  Feastwise, of the 48 pastys we made, only 6 were left over, and  we only had maybe 15 -18 people stay for the feast.  

I would like to especially thank
My wife, Mistress Jeanmaire for helping to make the pastys and run the A&S competition, as well as running back and forth to our house retriving things I forgot.
My squire, and Captain of the Dark Lady Lady Kellia for Feast-o-crating, and cleanup
Lord Richard the Bear of the Dark Lady for Cooking, running Kubb, and helping in site prep and cleanup
Lady Eluned of the Dark Lady for helping to make Pastys, and helping in site prep and cleanup
Nathan for helping make the Pastys
Achbar for Marshalling the heavy tourney.
Lady Mari for being the MOL, troll, and helping with site prep and cleanup
Lady Apollonia for being Troll and helping with site prep.
OMari for helping with site prep and cleanup
Lord Seamus for major help with outdoor site prep
Kellia's daughter Sara for helping in the kitchen
Master Wolfram for helping judge the A&S competition
Mistress Louise for helping judge the A&S competition
Lady Gracella for helping judge the A&S competition
Aldric for helping with cleanup
not to mention Safiya, who not only travelled 6 hours to get to the event, but was also a major help in site set up and cleanup. 

Thanks House Taivassalama and the Crew of the Dark Lady for helping bring this thing off again in 2008.
