[Ansteorra] Coronation thanks!

[Susan Harkins via Ansteorra]

Greetings to the people of Ansteorra!

This is a long post so bear with me. Coronation was a wonderful event. So many deserving people being recognized, so many tears of joy and celebration.

Many people worked to make the event come together and I want to acknowledge their efforts and assistance. 

First I want to thank Their Majesties for trusting me to steward this event for them. It was a great experience and they made my job so easy with their organization and communication. They are a pleasure to work with. Queen Antigone suggested the beautiful site and it was just perfect!

My thanks to the Kingdom Financial committee for their help and support, especially HL Elsa, Kingdom Exchequer, for her help and hard work. My thanks to Countess Michelle and Duke Lochlan for their support and keeping court moving along - thank you!

I want to thank my gate coordinator Lady Katerina Ine Curry and all of her volunteers! 

The feast was incredible! Lord Dryden of Wolfstar and his crew are the best, including but not limited to Lady Kadlin of Wolfstar and Lord Olaf Njordsson (and those who selflessly guarded the pig from the cats, Woot!)

Thanks to the Barony of the Steppes for loaning all the feast gear for the event.

Thank you to the Baronies who brought their pavilions out. The fort looked stunning.

I'd like to thank those running vigils for your patience and communication with me.

Thanks to all the Marshals and List Mistresses for running the tournaments.

Thank you to Countess Amelot, the Bees and their crews for running the tavern.

I want to thank my set up and tear down crew:
HL Toryn Sevenstitches - site cleanup; autocrat support
Centurion Creppin l'autruche - site cleanup; autocrat support
Bella (Torynsdottir) - hall cleanup
Devin Phelan O'Dohnabhan - site cleanup
Baroness Crystal - site cleanup
Lady Bastienne d' Arcis- site token assistance
Lord Alain - ice run!!

I want to specially thank my dear friend and mentor Mistress Honour du Bois for her advice and support, site cleanup and dinner run Friday. Even though she was being elevated to the order of the Pelican, she took the time to answer my questions and give advice.

Many of the people on this list had multiple duties and jobs. I appreciate all the help I received before during and after the event.

I have a lot of lost and found items. I will be posting a list soon. If you already know you lost something, email or pm me and I will confirm whether or not I have it, until I can get the list posted.

In humble service to the Kingdom and Crown,
HL Susanna Nightegale
