Harvest Masque

October 9th, A.S. 45           Hosted By the Incipient Canton of Hauksgarðr

One and all are invited to join the Incipient Canton of Hauksgarðr to celebrate in the grand style and sophistication of a renaissance Venetian masque at our Harvest Masque. Mask yourself and enjoy the day as a member of the court would.

Enjoy Music and Dancing. Show your skill as an artisan in our Most Period Mask Competition (documentation and photos are required). Fighters, show your skills in our heavy weapons prize tourney, sponsored by His Lordship Kerryk Wolfram. Take classes to increase your knowledge of the time period.

The feast is a potluck meal with the meat course and bread provided by the Canton. Feast contributions are by mundane last name A-M side dish and N-Z desert. We ask that all feast contributions are enough to feed your family + 10, please provide an ingredients list to be displayed with your contribution.

Please note this is a DRY SITE.
