face=Arial>Another wonderful Medieval Fair has come and gone and we hope
everyone has "fared" well. Monday last it seems Mother Nature did not want
us to have a Fair and she launched a Siege unlike any seen in history, laying
down an assault of endless rain and bitter cold. But that did not stop the
hundreds of folks involved in Fair and by Wednesday Mother Nature realized
victory was not to be hers. She instead blessed us with several days of
most suitable weather, bringing well over 300,000 guests into the
Lanes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

putting on perhaps her finest appearance yet. But that would not have been
possible without the assistance of each and every one of you who dug in and
helped, be it for a few hours or a few months. We began to compile a
list of folks we wished to name for special recognition, but then quickly
realized that would include just about everyone there and such a list would have
been so long it may well have broken the Internet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

does it end here? Absolutely not for now The Triad and hopefully many of
our Directors take on the role of Consultants, reviewing and analyzing this
year's <STRONG><EM>Embassy</EM></STRONG> and preparing to leave it in the
capable hands of the 2014 folks so that they may make it even
better.</FONT> <FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial> </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=062451100-09042013><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>With
that in mind, we invite your input on your experience with <STRONG><EM>The
Embassy</EM></STRONG>, including the good and the bad and recommendations for
next year. And so as not to create a prolonged discussion on list, we ask
you send those missives to Herr Wolfgang at <A

coming days we shall be hosting a debriefing session to throw everything out
onto the table and begin the journey to next year. We have yet to set a
date for that; however with 2 major Events in the next 4 weeks, it will likely
be very shortly following Beltane.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
