The Shire of the Shadowlands is excited to announce the return of our
celebrated (though seasonally-challenged) day of merriment, Fall Ball in the
Small Hall! This year's theme is Ballhalla, so wear your finest Norse
attire, brush up on your bransles, and join us for a day of fun with
something for everyone on Saturday January 29th!

Llywelen of Shadowland...s will be leading a series of dance classes to
prepare for the evening's ball. New dancers and seasoned veterans alike are
welcome to learn or practice the steps, and any veterans who would like to
assist with instruction are invited to contact Lord Llywelen at TMarkulin AT
neo.tamu.edu.
Other activities throughout the day will include a variety of games
(including Shadowlands favortes Minotaur's Maze and Viking Axe Throw),
charter painting and fighting opportunities for both chivalric and rapier
combatants.
For those who work up an appetite dancing, fighting and having fun there
will be a potluck feast immediately preceeding the evening's ball, with the
shire providing meat. If you plan to partake, please bring an appetizer,side
or dessert to feed yourself or your family, plus five others. For ideas on
what to bring, please email the feast coordinator Lady Isolde die Waeyer at
LMNorman at UH.edu.
Dancing will begin at approximately 6:30pm, with the set list to be
announced ASAP. Any musicians interested in performing during the ball are
encouraged to contact Lord Llywelen at the email address listed above.
The annual Shadowlnds Bransle-Off (AKA Bransle 'til you Bawl) will take
place between sets, so come prepared to compete to join the illustrious
ranks of Shadowlands Bransle Champions!
All the legendary fun and hospitality of a Shadowlands (unofficial) event
can be had for a $5 gate fee, with children admitted free. Site is the
traditional Clubhouse in Eastside Park in Hearne, TX. (map is here
