Last Week
King’s Hunt, hosted by the Shire of Carreg Wen, was last weekend at Live Oak Campground. It was a great event full of fighting, archery, crafting, and spending time with friends both new and old. Their Highnesses seemed very appreciative of the presentation that the Shire made during court (and Cormac Crescent, Principal Herald of Caid, remarked that the bar has now been raised for future presentations that the Shire makes). Thank you to everyone who helped make that possible.
This Week
There will no Craft Night on Tuesday, April 15th. Regularly scheduled Craft Nights will resume on April 22nd.
Starkhafn Anniversary is this weekend near Las Vegas, NV. Is anyone from the Shire (like, perhaps, the Crossbow Champion of Starkhafn) planning on attending?
Barons’ Feast (aka the Gyldenholt Company Picnic) is on Sunday in Orange, CA. It’s a day full of food, games, and friendly people. Reservations may be required. Lord Paul and Lady Gwen are planning on attending, so talk to them if you’re interested in going.
