Our Barony usually does potluck dinners. But we hold one annual feast
in October, and it's as period as we can make it. We charge around
$15 a person, partly because food is expensive in Alaska, and partly
because indoor sites with good kitchens are mostly too expensive for
our small feast (50+). We almost always lose money, but it's not
much, and it's expected. We plan for it but making sure we make money
on other events and via fundraising year-round.
We're rather proud of this feast tradition, which goes back to about
AS XIV, and people travel the previously-mentioned 400 miles to eat
with us (G).
