One of the best events I ever attended was the Feast for a Winter's Eve, in
the Shire of Frosted Hills (mka Poughkeepsie NY). The people started
gathering a few hours before the feast began; my chief memory of this
period is od a rather rowdy game of blind-man's buff. The first and third
courses were followed by entertainments, including musicians, a juggler,
and as I recall a game of musical chairs; the second and fourth courses
were followed by dancing. (The fifth course was followed by the
traditional clean-up and departure.)
