With this email The Shire of the Shadowlands welcomes you to Fall Ball<br>
in the Small Hall IV: Bakers' Bransle!! It will be a day of games,<br>
classes, and combat followed by a European Ball in the evening of<br>
Saturday, January 28th, 10 am to 10 pm.<br>
<br>
The kitchen staff is celebrating Bruegel style with active games,<br>
scavenger hunt, melon bocce as well as table top games. Classes will<br>
be themed to food and cooking(bread baking and gingerbread) and will<br>
include a dance refresher for those who wish to take part in the<br>
evening dances. A caligraphy class by HL Thomas atte Wood is also<br>
scheduled. There are rumors of goat racing and boffer food fight<br>
barrier battles. Martial activities dependent on attendance.<br>
<br>
After the days activities, bring a dish to share (feeds 4-6) at the<br>
potluck. The Shire will provide a meat dish. There is a full kitchen<br>
on site. Contact Lady Isolde (Lauren Norman) regarding the<br>
potluck.From Isolde: Potluck at the ball! If you are planning to eat,<br>
please bring a dish to share, sized to serve at least 4-6. Please<br>
provide all items necessary to heat and properly serve your dish,<br>
please label your stuff, and please please PLEASE check in with me at<br>
some point during the day to let me know of any specific instructions<br>
for your food. The site has a full kitchen, but please do not plan on<br>
doing an...y major cooking on site, especially not in the hour before<br>
service. Things that work great--cheeses, fruit and other cold items<br>
that can be stored in the fridge in their serving dish and simply<br>
placed on the table, hot items in a crock pot, room-temp foods like<br>
breads, cookies and other baked items, hot foods that can be heated in<br>
a microwave. Food setup will begin in the late afternoon, dinner will<br>
start shortly before the ball and food will be available for munching<br>
throughout the dancing. Please send me a message letting me know what<br>
you are planning on bringing so that we don't end up with enough<br>
mashed potatoes to make a life-sized effigy from : D<br>
<br>
The event will be held at the lovely Clubhouse in Eastside Park in<br>
Hearne, TX. It has tables and chairs. The site is dry.<br>
<br>
Finally, we will clear the tables for a rousing dance ball in the<br>
evening featuring our 4th annual dance champion Bransle Off<br>
competition. Musicians needed and most welcome (you get to eat first!)<br>
