[MR] Fun in February

[Gail]

Greetings from the Highlands of Atlantia,

On behalf of Barun Siegfried Sebastion Faust and Baronessa Francesca Angelo
of Highland Foorde, I would like to invite you to some February fun at our
event, Feast & Foolishness 2- 'A Parliament of Foules'.

Nature is convening a parliament at which the birds will all choose their
mates. Our two male eagles will make their case for the hand of the lady but
we are certain that the birds of lower estates will have something to say
about that. Which eagle will make his case and win the hand of the maid? Or
will Nature make the final decision? Come join the Barony of Highland Foorde
in celebrating l'amour, or just join us for a day of gaming, fun, and food.
Outrageous feathered hats, capes and costumes are very welcome. Our feast
runs all day and is limited to 125 pre-reservations only.

So, leave behind your travel mug and avoid the drive-thru as your day begins
at 9 am with the first Feast remove of morning fare (breakfast). Mama Java
will of course be available.

Adult Member $16.00 (This is site and *all day* feast & same price as last
year).
Youth (5-17) $8.00
Child <5 lap-sitters free

*Bardic Competition*

“*Sing For Your Supper”*

Our two male eagles are vying for the hand of the maiden eagle and they need
your help to win her heart. Ok, you don’t necessarily have to sing for your
supper but bring several of your cleverest original poems, rhymes, filks, or
songs to perform, based upon either the golden eagle or the silver eagle,
and their quest for l’amour. The parliament of Foules and Mother Nature will
be your judges. Single elimination “tourney”. Winner of each round receives
a gold or silver egg, and the loser receives an egg from the birds of lower
estates. *Bard with the most silver or gold eggs wins a refund of their
event fee.*

*The Barony of Highland Foorde would especially like to encourage all
inexperienced bards to compete.*

*Gaming Competition *

Tables will be set up with 6 different period games. Game points are as
follows: Chess win worth 10 points; Alquerque win worth 8 points, Nine Man
Morris win worth 6 points; Backgammon win worth 5 points; Fox & Geese win
worth 4 points; Game of The Swan win worth 2 points.

Chose a game and get a gaming slip from the Table Steward. Win the game,
place your name on the slip and give to a table steward to be tallied. You
can play any of the competition games, but your next game must be different
from that just played. Gamer with the most amount of points, wins!

*Feathered Headdress Competition*

Pluck up your nerve, prepare to strut your stuff and create a feathered
headdress (be it lovely or just plain outrageous!). Anyone may enter,
judging to be by populace vote. No documentation allowed! 1st place and
runner up awarded.
