| Kingdom Twelfth Night January 12, 2008 Barony of Endless Hills We invite all good gentles to join in the merriment and cheer at the Æthelmearc Kingdom Twelfth Night celebration on Saturday, January 12, 2008 in the Barony of Endless Hills. The event will be held at Saint Rose Academy, 1300 Old Plank Road, Mayfield, PA, 18407. We have procured a marvelous hall for feasting, meetings, courts and dancing! Bring your best garb and revel in our sun-filled atrium! The hall opens at 9 am and closes at 9:30 pm. This is a discretely damp site (period containers please), and enclosed flame is allowed. The site is fully handicapped accessible and there is adequate parking for all vehicles. A bounteous lunch is included with the site fee. The day will be filled with dancing (instruction included!), a period games tournament with prizes – and of course, meetings! There will be children’s activities for the younger populace and A&S contests for best late period (post-1500) garb, best accessory and best festive holiday tart (to be crowned the Queen of Tarts!), all with fabulous prizes! At Her Majesty’s gracious request, there will also be a contest for best hat, for which She is personally providing the prize. Their Majesties will be choosing their Bardic champion at this event, so come prepared to sing, regale us with tales, and otherwise entertain. A fabulous Italian Feast will finish the day – followed by much dancing and revelry! |
| St. Swithin's Bog 12th Night January 19, 2008 Barony of St. Swithin's Bog It has been our tradition for good friends to gather in the dead of winter at our neighborhood castle and reminisce on the past year and plan (plot) for the coming new year. This year we invite you to celebrate with us at an elegant evening of food, court intrigue and libations at Shakespeare’s Pub in the Olde Stonewall Castle, 1495 Mercer Road, Ellwood City Pa 16117 (724)752-4653. We will meet on Friday Night January 25, 2008 at 7:00pm, with dinner beginning at 7:30pm. The restaurant will be providing a gourmet 2 course buffet and desert. The only requirement is show up in your party garb and be waited on in fine style. There will be a cash bar until 12:00pm. It is our habit in Steltonwald to have a silly gift exchange. This should be an item in the $10 -$20 price range. We have a fun twist to the gift exchange and it is a lot of laughs. You will want to bring a wrapped gift so you can enjoy the fun. The cost for this buffet is $40.00 per adult. (Inclusive of tax and gratuities) Put on your finest garb and join us as we toast the New Year with our friends and enjoy the blessings of our lives. Please reserve and pay BEFORE January 21, 2007. Make checks payable to “SCA Inc –Steltonwald”. YOU CANNOT ATTEND WITHOUT A RESERVATION. |
