<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Thank you all for coming out to our event. It was a beautiful day and everything went off well. There were many newcomers there who were made to feel very welcome. I heard many compliments on the hospitality that our Shire offered to our visitors. Thank you <EM>all </EM>for that. Also, many awards were given out and recognition was made by the Crown to our well-deserving populace and I wish to congratulate you <EM>all. </EM>If you were unable to join us, you missed a wonderful Festival. Many dragons were slain and all the populace was saved by our mighty warriors! Congratulations to our new champions:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
