Ha!  No, not a fashion show but quite a fun event and Northern Regional War
Practice is scheduled for Sunday afternoon along with Marshal training.
Here is the info on the event.  Our Guild is cooking.

May 10 -12  --  Garb Wars, Bright Hills, Rocks 4-H
Camp, Street, MD

Sharpen your shears and needles, it's time again to
see which team can produce the spiffiest garb in a
24-hour period on-site. Garb contest rules are the
same as last year. The contest runs from 6 p.m. Friday
until 6 p.m. Saturday. Teams will consist of no more
than 6 gentles. The garb must be worn to the feast,
where the judging will take place and winners
announced.

But the sewing-challenged will also find plenty to
do.
The event will open with a March of Precedence.
Nobles are invited to bring their banners and a herald
to proclaim their lineage, prowess and honors.
(Heralds will be available for hire onsite. The fees
will enrich the barony's heraldic library fund. Please
bring a tabard in your livery colors for the herald to
wear while representing you. ) The day's fighting will
include a crested helm melee should enough fighters
bring appropriately decorated helms. Rapier combat,
archery and thrown weapons contests are also being
planned.  More information will be provided in the May
announcement.

	"What separates us from the beasts is our ability to
accessorize" -- if someone hasn't said it they should
have! Accessorize! Accessorize! Is the theme of an
additional A&S competition. Armor, including crested
helms, may be entered in this contest. A&S classes are
planned and dancing and a bardic activity will follow
the feast. Questions about the garb and accessory
competitions and classes should be directed to
Mistress Margherita Tessatrice (Deborah Murphy). Her
email address is weaver8002 at aol.com and her telephone
number is (301) 916-0092.

heraldry by creating new (temporary) names and armory,
which will be announced at a grand entry during the
feast.
