[Ponte Alto] [Moo] baronial birthday/Pictures!

[Sharon]

Greetings to all!

I just wanted to share a couple of photos and the
happiness I took away from the event.  The archery was
exciting and fun... many thanks to Earl Mikah and all
those responsible.  My 2 daughters and I also
participated in the A&S Travellers competition.  My 2
daughters (ages 9 and 11) won prizes for their walking
staff ("magikal stones" bound at the top and an
elaborate wood burned dragon on the upper half).  And
my compliments to the chefs... the feast was
DELICIOUS!

To all those who sorrowfully missed the event:  It
took us 3 hours to drive there due to various road
blocks and detours, yet I tell you it was COMPLETELY
WORTH IT!  I highly recommend the event for next year.

Please check the photo album link below (& let me know
if it does not work):

Best wishes and Vivant!
