Lorraine you have been a continued support of Seawinds<BR>> throughout the years so it was no surprise when I saw you kick into work<BR>> mode. You helped lay out the field so that we had a safe place to do this<BR>> much anticipated event.

rapier<BR>> fought, and did a lot of grunt work. Seawinds appreciates you brother! You<BR>> even encouraged some rapier fighters to come down and with that we actually<BR>> were able to have a rapier melee demonstration.<BR>><BR>> Thank you Stubbs, Amanda and Dietrick (Sorry Peter... I think I killed your<BR>> name too <wink>) You guys rock! You really made the rapier?demo! You all<BR>> should have seen them get into personna play on that field.

The Ingleside<BR>> Chamber of Commerce were very impressed. We just keep getting bigger and<BR>> prettier every year! Which is not possible with out many of our friends<BR>> throughout the kingdom! The Chamber told us there was 3500 people through<BR>> the gate on saturday with over 30 vendors!<BR>><BR>> We have
to thank the artisian of Seawinds and the fabulous cooks! Without<BR>> them we wouldn't look as pretty and as colorful as we do and without Lady<BR>> Pamela and HL Catriona in the kitchen serving those hearty/ yummy<BR>> meals...?we would have starved! :)<BR>><BR>> Coastal, we had a fabulous time! Same time next year! Second weekend in<BR>> December...

There was a tragic accident on Sunday, my Precious suffered<BR>> severe damages, broken but there is hope. Thanks to Doctors at the Chad<BR>> Institute with their state of the arts high tech facility, Precious may make<BR>> a full recovery. Donations are always accepted, beer, sheep, llamas, etc, a<BR>> shirt for Gavin!!? ANYTHING!!! dig deep for a loved one during this holiday<BR>> season.<BR>><BR>> Donations may be sent to the Save a Helm Foundation<BR>><BR>> Lot's of fun was had by all at the Renn Faire. I'm nursing only one
bruise<BR>> (okay, so it covers my entire body). Gordon Thomas, used his Jedi powers to<BR>> crush my poor defenseless helm into oblivion (hi Oblivion, how's the wife &<BR>> kids?) He felt really bad about it, but these things happen. I mean it IS a<BR>> contact sport. That being said, I'm sure I can milk this sympathy thing to<BR>> get a few free beers every time I see Gordon- 0- "Sigh,.....Hey Gordon,<BR>> remember how pretty my helmet used to be???"? LOL Actually, Gordon's got<BR>> himself a new helm, Precious 3.0. It's very nice, we did our best to dent it<BR>> but I think a few duct tape smudges was all it suffered. "Hey Gordo,<BR>> Remember when my helm was pretty like yours?? I need a beer to wash down<BR>> these tears Gordo, sniffle, sniffle"<BR>><BR>> Yarraslav was a big hit at the forge looking stunning I must say. He and<BR>> his assistant wore matching uniforms comprised of bulging muscles with
soot<BR>> smudge?highlights. (You should've SEEN the ladies trying to not look like<BR>> they were staring)<BR>><BR>> Our artisans had a large variety of wares and were demonstrating their<BR>> skills.<BR>><BR>> Jousting was a huge draw again! (I have GOT to get a horse trailer)<BR>> Lorraine & Ulstead did a great job of thrilling the audience with their<BR>> noble steeds.<BR>><BR>> Oh, and a HUGE round of applause for all the fencers who came down. They<BR>> were awesome! What a show they put on, very entertaining! I take off my hat<BR>> in salute to the fine rapier fighters who showed..or I would if I HAD a<BR>> hat..."Hey Gordo! Remember when I first got my helm and the brass trim<BR>> wasn't bent and the bars weren't broken? sniffle, sniffle..." Why yes, I'd<BR>> love another Shiner beer"<BR>><BR>> ~W~<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Ansteorra mailing
