Miss Mermaid Contest
Oyez! Oyez! All fair maids!
Take a chance and be crowned Miss
Mermaid 2008. Our 2007 winner will be on
hand to uphold her title.
The rules:
Any maid or matron - or (guys) if you
attempt to look like one - may enter.
Be aware that mermaids, being magical
creatures, may be seen on land with actual
legs! Therefore, a tail is not a requirement.
Please be adorned in some manner that will
make the judges think,"Huh..a mermaid
might wear that."
Baroness Kateryn and Mistress Tatiana so
enjoyed last year, they again will be our judges.
Miss Mermaid will be Royalty for the day and
be seated with her Champion at Feast.
Period Food Fear Factor
Back by popular demand!
For those creative cooks in our Kingdom, bring your favorite
"Wow, they used to eat that?" food and see the strongest among us
fall like the weakest plague victim.
Must have documentation and copy of original recipe.
Please pre-register by 5/25/08 with Francesca
Have a cast-iron stomach? Think you can handle anything? Sign up
as a victim..or I mean..participant in our Fear Factor competition.
Two winners-the cook with the...uh...best entry and the person with
the strongest stomach will join Countess Gwyneth and Lord James
and be inducted into the Order of the Golden Spoon. The winner
will also receive a free feast. If you can still eat after all of this.
How many Feathers in the
Herald's Hat?
If you've ever seen our Herald's hat
you've probably wondered yourself how
many feathers can you put in one hat?
We've finally convinced him to count and
the best guess will win a prize!
Wall Siege for all ages
Test your skill! Be the first to breach your enemies wall and gain the
prestige of your peers and maybe a prize.
Gypsies!! The band of Gypsies has grown and has threatened to invade the area again! They bring with them many
exotic wares for sale as well as predicting your future. But beware, it is well known that gypsies fancy shiny baubles
and worse yet, children! So keep and eye on your valuables and keep your children close.
Battle for Mermaids Favor
THL Murdoch Mcarthur will be defending his title as
Mermaid's Champion. Best him and win our Miss Mermaid's
favor and take her side at Feast.
