<BR>The Tavern is Back!

<BR> Deep in the salt-encrusted tomes of maritime legend lies the story of an infamous tavern said to rise out of the mists. Many a sailor has been shipwrecked searching for its warm hall, hearty fare and lusty serving wenches! The tavern, known as the "Barnacled Bullfrog", is reappearing within the Barony of Marinus on November 24, A.S. XXXVI.
<BR>
<BR> Several competitions will be held throughout the day: Best Flirt (Male/Female), Darts, & Best Song/Story/Poem (theme: "history" of the Barnacled Bullfrog Tavern).
<BR>
<BR> There will be heavy and rapier fighting throughout the afternoon, in addition to a torch lit rapier tourney at dusk.

<BR> Activities will include a live action Goose game, Rabah's Caravan and other tavern games. A light lunch will be available for a donation.
<BR>
