Oh St. Corrigan's Day! This event was the pot o' gold waiting at the end of the 5 weekend demo. The mountains offered peace and quiet, which we proceeded to raucously interrupt with our laughter and song! As Lord [[Anerain ap Alwyn]] put it, "St. Corrigan's is the event that reminds me that the SCA for community is a very real thing." (oh that's misquoted, but the idea is there).

Oh St. Corrigan's Day! This event was the pot o' gold waiting at the end of the 5 weekend demo. The mountains offered peace and quiet, which we proceeded to raucously interrupt with our laughter and song! As Lord Anerain ap Alwyn put it, "St. Corrigan's is the event that reminds me that the SCA for community is a very real thing." (oh that's misquoted, but the idea is there). Every person that attended found a way to enrich the weekend, and make fun not just for themselves, but for others too! Thank you first and foremost to our event steward, Lord Rónán de Bhál and Baroness Tyne MacPhersone. Thank you for planning, and for playing! The kids enjoyed beloved St. Corrigan's games beneath to cooling arch of the sprinkler, and in the end all the participants went home with a trophy. This is not the first hot event that Tyne has rescued with water power! Ronan could be seen everywhere, helping set up, giving the rapier fighters a fierce fight (and winning the day), cooking up a mountain of delicious fajitas, sharing the bardic spotlight with his son, and ensuring that everyone was having the best time possible.
His Excellency and I enjoyed coming up with special recognition for members or our populace in opening court. Thank you to our Blue Mountain Herald, Lord Anerain ap Logan, for giving voice to these silly but sincere unofficial "awards." Congratulations to the Premier and Ultimate recipients of the following: There are those among us who embody the saying “see a need, fill a need.” They are the metaphorical cork that keeps the ship sailing. And so Their Excellencies call Lord Rónán de Bhál to receive Der Korken, the symbol of this recognition being a rather large cork suspended from a leather cord. Lord Ronan is also known for never passing up a "that's what he/she said" moment. And so, bestowing this award also gives each member of the populace the power, when necessary, to ask Ronan to kindly put a cork in it! Thank you Ronan, for being the cork, everywhere you are needed, all at once.
St. Corrigan extends his blessings to all, but there are some far more blessed, far more often than others. This year's "Blessing of St. Corrigan" goes to Lord Alastar MacLachlan in recognition of his perseverance and service. The emblem of this award is a compass rose.
In recognition of the Bardic talents that have been passed down from previous generations, which now grow in magic, and radiate with rainbow words, Their Excellencies call Victoria of Dreiburgen (age 9) to receive The Regenbogenwörter, or "Rainbow Words." The symbol of this recognition being a glass vial containing a captured glittering rainbow. By their kind hearts, divine patience, and sheer force of will, the Sisterhood of the Golden Lasso brings order to the Baronial children. In gratitude, Their excellencies call Lady Arnleif Oladottir, Lady Kynan MacPhersone, and Gen the Gardener to receive the emblem of this recognition: a golden lasso suspended from a leather holster.
Congratulations to all!
Thank you Baroness Megan de Barri and Lady Fiammetta Cesareo for running gate, Baron Logan Black Rune for running a rather unconventional lyst, Sir Thurstan de Barri for facilitating an Arts & Science display for youth and adults, Lord Geral de Riera for continuing the tradition of rapier tourney on-the-fly, Lord Olaf mac Stiamna for the brilliant idea of an armored flyting battle rather than a fighting tourney to beat the heat and entertain all! Congratulations to Christian and Aiden for winning the youth A&S contests with their drawings, and to Kristoff Christopher Breed for winning the adult with his beautiful leather bracers!
Two armored fighters gained the admiration of all as they faced off in the first ever St. Corrigan's flyting battle. Resounding Victory was gained by THL Jethro de Calce des Excurtynyx against his most worthy opponent, Kristoff of Dreiburgen.
Thank you Master Sigbiorn Sigmundarson for sharing yummy Tillamook ice cream during the heat of the day! We finally discovered why Hurkey Creek campground is called a "creek," and after an early closing court, many retired to its restorative pools. The potluck was legendary, with a table of ever replenishing dishes. The bardic was equally rich and diverse, with performances going on until the last flames died. Saturday night, about 3am, the entire camp was rocked awake by a very loud, very close “boom.” Talking it over the next day, we discovered we all had the same response: What was that? Is anyone screaming? No? Well, back to sleep then. 😆 I think the most probable guess is that a tree fell!
Thank you Master Timotheus Zacharia von Schloss Zwilling and Dame Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios for tables, shade, beverages, and wonderful bardic contributions! Daegmund Jacob Brigdon came to help Ram and I set up our tent, and after the 3rd trip or so he said "Your Excellency, I think I've been had..." I inquired "How so?" and he replied that he was told to come over to our tent because "people were singing." and instead got roped into manual labor! Jacob is a talented bard with an extensive song list - we are grateful for the help with set up, and also for the gorgeous gift of your voice!
A similar thank you to Lord Chartain Trevino, who was so helpful and also has an enviable gift for spoken word bardic. Lord Michael Roy Mor brought out the dulcimer for bardic, I promise I'll learn my part of the song for the next camping event! Thank you Lady Michelle filia Osgari for making movie night happen for the kiddos with your projector and screen!
