The rules for the Steppes Bard competition are simple. One performance, any 
genre. A suggested theme is "Full Circle", carried over from Warlord, but 
it isn't mandatory. For more information, please contact Their 
Excellencies, Fritz and Catrin.

Site Fee: $8.00 for members, $10.00 for non-members; and includes the 
luncheon feast. For those who wish to join us for the potluck, site fee 
will be $5.00 for members and $8.00 for non-members AFTER 2:00 PM ON SATURDAY.

Site is wet, but please be responsible and courteous to others. The 
traditional Camp Burnett Fall Court Potluck will be served for dinner. 
Leftovers from the luncheon feast will support this potluck, but please 
bring a dish to contribute if you are able. Contact Lady Mikola at 
suzipdm at aol.com or 940-458-2548 to coordinate your contribution (no calls
