Greetings Elfsea and Dragonsfire Tor,

It was a spectacular weekend.  Even the weather could not stop the greatest Barony, and it's Canton, from having a terrific event.

We have so many to thank.  If we miss someone, please let us know .....so many hands worked hard to make this weekend the best.

Countess Elizabeth and Countess Amelot - words fail us.  You both worked so tirelessly (broken arm, and all) to ensure we had little to worry about....including my dresses.  Thank you so very much.
