Their Majesties named Adelaide de Beaumont as their Kingdom Artisan.
Milsande de Frayne and Duncan Hepburn were offered entry into the Order of
the Laurels.

I extend my gratitude to Mistress Katherine Rose Oliver and Mistress
Milisende de Barcelona for the incredible service they did organizing the
competition and the judges and to their scribe, HL Nicola Setaro; to
Baroness Isabeau Quiquandon and HL Cristyana Lambrecht, stewards, for an
outstanding job of organizing the event and display area; to Her Grace
Ebergaris von Zell for an extraordinary sideboard lunch; to Master Geof and
Mistress Rose for the Laurel's Luncheon; to Mistress Marguerite
Dinard, Kingdom A & S Deputy for Gulf Wars, who now serves to see that our
competitors can make the best showing possible at Gulf Wars; Stargate and
friends for hosting the event; to the over 30 Laurels who judged, and most
especially to the 40 artisans who entered.

This is as smooth a K A&S as I can recall.  Yet, there is always room to
improve.  The comments of those in attendance are most welcome.
