> The Canton of Hawkwood was relaxing after a hard summer's work. The
harvest
> is in, the livestock are fat and the weather is pleasant BUT VIKINGS ARE
> AFTER OUR SHEEP!!! Come help us defend MacGregor farm from those
murderous,
> treacherous Danes!!! And if that wasn't bad enough, the Brotherhood of the

> the honor of the beautiful ladies of this realm against these notorious
> rogues.

> A&S COMPETITIONS: There will be three categories for competition.
> 1. Best use of wool. This category is wide open, do with it what you will!
> As long as it is wool, we'll take it. This could include spinning,
weaving,
> sewing, embroidery, garb, accessories, decorations, raw materials,
anything
> made from wool at all.
>
> 2. Best use of the color gold. Anything incorporating the color gold is
> allowed into this category (illumination or the scribal arts would be good
> ideas, but anything gold or the heraldic equivalent yellow will do!)
>
> 3. Performing arts. The criteria for this competition will be the best
> adaptation of a medieval piece for a modern audience. This can be any type
> of performing art, be it a song, poetry reading, dramatic performance,
> dance, storytelling, what have you. Everyone wants to encourage more
> medieval bardic performances, but the performers also want to be
> entertaining to a modern audience. All entries in all categories will be
> judged on a their authenticity (please be able to provide documentation)
and
> skill level. We will also provide space for an open display for all Arts
and
> Sciences so bring whatever piece you are proud of, or works in progress to
> display and get feedback on.
>
> BARDIC CIRCLE:  Many and wondrous performers, revelers, bards, dancers,
> drummers, chanters, mummers, storytellers, and yarn weavers shall be
> attending this year and mayhaps we can coerce them into performing for us.
A
> pass-play format seems to work well.
>
> THE FEAST: The Feast is limited to 150 gentles.  Additionally, due to the

100
> gentles. Off-board seating availability will be on a first come, first
