[MR] Night on the Town *Snark*

[Sharon Horstman]

Good Gentles All,

      We pray that you would be forgiving of our appropriation of just a
little bit of the 17th Century for Night on the Town this year.  We promise
you that it will be a wonderful event, with much exciting rapier activity.
We will even have combat archery!  If you are a rapier fighter, or like to
see pretty people in pretty clothes fight rapier, watch archers target
pretty people in pretty clothes, enjoy classes and displays, or just want a
relaxing time with a fabulous feast, please join us this Saturday in
Annapolis at Night on the Town.

Hoping you will join us in the Dream,
Dominick and Margery
Baron and Baroness Lochmere
