[Bards] Bards, Brewers, and Cooks (now with shopping!)

[Alden Drake]

I'd suggest making it a multi-group event first and see how it goes.  It 
could make for a fabulous Eisteddfod though to have cooking and brewing 
classes, some bardic classes opposite the bardic competition, and a 
fabulous feast with entertainment.  That'd be a great event in my book. :)
