> and Clan Firefall and the camp of Lord Wolf out did all the other
> households  by feeding and watering the bards till the sun came up. I, as
> Premier Bard, thank those households and all the households that made us
> welcome. I hope that other campsites will take to welcoming bards and
> sponsoring circles in the future.
