[Loch-ruadh] Lughnasad

[baron at elfsea.ansteorra.org]

Allessandra & I had another fine time at Lughnasad
this year!  We appreciate the consideration shown
in keeping the heat down for the comfort of our
newborn baby and his recovering mother, and we
thoroughly enjoyed presenting all those well-
deserved awards.

Her lady mother also greatly enjoyed her first SCA
event.

Duke Patrick expressed to me repeatedly how
overwhelmed he was by the event, the prizes, and
simply how much fun he was having.  I just told
him, "welcome to Loch Ruadh".

Thanks everybody who put in all that hard work on
making this happen.  Next year, we look forward to
staying longer at the event.

- Galen, Lord of Loch Ruadh

(btw, was an unaccounted-for gray rug found under
the baronial pavillion?  We left one behind
inadvertantly.)
