[Loch-Ruadh] xXx Year / Crown Tourney

[Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain]

Vivat to the new Heirs to the Thrones of the Sable Star, Sir Owen and his lady Ginevria!
 
Vivat to the newest lord in the Shire of Loch Ruadh, Robert de Reyes!  (Ot young Laird Rabbie, as I like to call him.)
 
Vivat to Honorable Lady Aingeal, who became Protege to Baroness Saundra of Loch Raeburn (and by the way, Vivat to Her Excellency, who received her Court Barony at xXx).
 
It was a wonderful event, even with the heat, and we were fortunate to be spread out under the trees in front of the bandstand (our traditional camping area at Canton, and for which we give thanks and praise to the land coordinator).  We were somewhat more spread out than usual due to an increased number of pop-up and other campers and A/C units - making for much more pleasant sleeping conditions for many and a cool refuge as needed during the heat of the day, but a large electrical draw on the power outlets.  Fortunately, we had the space to spread out to several of the power points and accomodate everyone.
 
In spite of the heat and the current economic clime, we had a very good representation of Loch Ruadh at xXx, and our name is once again being spoken in the land,  Let us continue this good trend.
 
My thanks to all of our family who shared food, beer and other alcoholic goodies, shade, chairs, A/C, etc.  It's one of primary reasons I hae always been proud to be pat of Loch Ruadh.  (Sorry about the poison not working, Kat - I told you I was immune.)
