[MR] Hidden Mountain Birthday

[Jack "The Black" of Flint]

The year was A.S. 18.  His most noble and Gracious Majesty, King Olaf Askoldsson was traveling the southern reaches of his Kingdom, and came upon a Mountain, Hidden at the southern tip of Atlantia.  King Olaf found the people there to be good, strong, and wise.  He and his beautiful Queen Aislinn Schattenwald saw fit to charter a Barony in these southern lands, and was inspired to name it for the mountain he had found.   
It is now A.S. 43 and the Hidden Mountain will be visible again, for one glorious weekend, hearkening back to the past 25 years of service to one and all.  Come join us, as we welcome back Duke Olaf, Duchess Simone, Sir Eldon, and many others!!!!!

Feast: Feast will be a journey through 25 years of Hidden Mountain’s favorite foods. Baroness Tegan de Moreton will be preparing the “signature” dishes of past cooks!  She is also looking for recipes and stories of Hidden Mountain feasts past, things you would like to see again.  But she needs your help.  If you have been to a Mountain Feast in the last 25 years, send her your favorite dish, and the story behind what made it memorable. (Make sure you send her your food allergies as well!!!!)  This wonderful feast is being sponsored by the Canton of Tear Sea’s Shore as a fundraiser for the Baronial Coffers!  Please send her your Recipe no later than March 1st, to give her time to prepare and get things together!!!!
 
Entertainment: Kumpania Painted Wheel has agreed to provide entertainment during feast! If you have never had the opportunity to see these folks perform you have missed out on one of life’s greatest pleasures!
 
Grand Masquerade Ball: Following feast the Barony of Hidden Mountain will sponsor a Masquerade Ball to celebrate 25 years of standing strong. There will be instructors and a Ball coordinator on hand!  So, make sure you pack those Elizabethans, ladies! We’re giving everyone an excuse to pull out their 12th night clothing twice in one year! And don’t forget your masks!
