[Sca-cooks] Sign of the Times perhaps --Dinner at Crown - cancelled

[S CLEMENGER]

High costs? For gas, or for that feast? No offense to whoever this 
"Drawbridge Inn" is, but no way would I have paid $25 for that feast....Good 
lord! And the kids? $15 for chicken fingers and french fries? Ouch!

This news was just released in the Midrealm today.
I suspect it's high costs.
Gas is over $4.09 a gallon uptown today.

Feast at Crown Tournament was cancelled due to a serious lack of pre-
registrations.

As Drawbridge required us to use their services, it would have cost
the Barony a total of $1472.05 to run the feast, and we only had 8
*paid* reservations as of today (which was our last day to cancel).

What was canceled was:
Adult: $ 25
Child: $ 15
Adult Feast Menu  Tossed Greens served with the Drawbridge's own unique
dressing;Garden Chicken Breast stuffed with Herbed Cream Cheese
