ANST-Announce - Highland Games...

[Lord Evets von Drachenklaue]

The Shire of Ffynnon Gath would like to welcome you to our upcoming
event "Highland Games" on the weekend of June 30th-July 2nd.  Come join
us for a day of fun and games in a Scottish theme. See our Website for
pictures of prizes at:

  There will be a heavy weapons list fought for the ownership of the
Shire's sheep herd. Sheep will be placed on the field of battle to be
snatched up by the quickest or deadliest of fighters. Each fighter must
safely see their flock of sheep to pasture or forfeit them in the event
of an untimely death. A fighter may be resurrected at the cost of one
sheep to their slayer. At the end of this timed battle the fighter with
the largest herd shall be named Sheep's Champion. This lucky fighter
will be rewarded with a fine Battle Axe for his hard work.


    Other games will include a Scottish hammer and caper toss (rock and
log), and a Men-In-Kilts leg contest to be judged by members of the
Amazon Household.

    A scrumptious feast will be prepared by Jewels von Drachenklaue and
will include breads, herbed butters, cheeses, Scottish eggs, bread bowls
with stew, vegetables, slow roasted goat meat, and fruit tarts.

   After dark there will be a Middle Eastern Hafla lead by Lord Anton
and Lord Angus. Prizes will be awarded for best male and female dancers.
