<div>The Shire of Tir Medoin invites you to attend <strong>Quest for the Round Table IV</strong>, February 26-28, 2010.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Remember the days of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table? Quests were undertaken to recover priceless treasures, to rid evil and rescue noble ladies in distress. Knights of renown battled for Honor and Chivalry. Courtesy was the theme of the Court. Join us in the Quest to relive those glorious legends.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you decide to vie for a place in our Chivalric Tournament, you have the challenge of demonstrating those virtues of Chivalry we hold close to all of our hearts. During the day, we invite all Ladies to be seated at the Ladies Gallery to shower their tokens of favor upon the entrants of the Lists.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Tournament is only part of the Quest. Favors will be given out, the color of which indicates a point system. At the end of the day, the points for Shire Service, Populace Service, Knightly Virtues, and Combat victories will be tallied and Prizes given for the top six contestants. Our Knight’s Council and Ladies Gallery will then choose who will personify Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Gawain, Sir Percevale, Sir Gareth, and Sir Kay. Those chosen will be gifted with a Prize worthy of a Knight of the Round Table.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Additional activities will include a Brewing competition, an Arts & Sciences display for Beginners & Novices, a Youth Quest, and a Target Archery competition. In the evening, join us for an evening of Bardic and Dance as we revel into the night.</div>
