The General decorating theme for this year is Gourds,

as along with turnips, Gourds were the first "Jack O'lanterns"

We will have tables set up for sewing, scribal, games, heraldry, and children's activities.

Also the Accademia will have classes available

For your entertainment the 4th Annual Chess Tournament will be conducted

and we will also have a Checkers Tournament for the young ones

who do not wish to participate in the Chess Tourney.

This is an excellent day to bring your 'Unfinished Projects'

- especially the ones which have not seen the light of day for a while.

Additionally, there is plenty of room outside if the Heavy Fighters

and Rapiers Fighters would like to polish their skills.   Maybe some Thrown weapons?????
