[Bryn-gwlad] A Harvest Contest!

[Thomas]

Bryn Gwlad is a beautiful barony of much bounty 
with shadowy forests and with champains rich'd,
with plenteous rivers and wide-skirted meads,  
with abundant harvests of barley and fruit!

Many of those in our barony have lands that have 
been granted by my noble parents or myself.   You 
may have a prize-winning sheep or carp or herbs   
to boast at the Harvest Faire next weekend.  

You may even have an interesting tale as how 
you acquired an amazing gaggle, herd, or peck. 
This is a challenge for bards as well as 
ostlers, harvesters or huntsmen.  How well 
can you tell the tale of your crop or cow?

I am offering a special prize for the 
most amazing harvest item presented to me
at this event, be it a gaudy gourd or an  
evocative eggplant, a horrendous hogweed,
any medieval fruit of unusual size or shape,  
magical nuts or great pumpkin!  A good story 
or imaginative presentation is encouraged. 

This is a contest for all ages.  Entries 
may be presented to me throughout the day 
and will be displayed near the throne.  They 
will be judged and honored at the feast.   

           Baron Thomas
