Highlights

We had a late start as many arrived later than expected.

Opening court was very long as there were many awards given:

• Lillian of Western Seas admitted into the Order of the Acorn
• Ludwig received his Award of Arms
• Lady Maria de Ysla admitted into the Order of the Crescent Sword
• The Honorable Lord Robin Randell Petrie admitted into the Order of the Crescent (being delivered in person by Dame Uta Blackthorne during one of their events in Farhaven)
• Sir Valeran do Pico selected Lord Andrew of Fairburn as Squire, presenting the Red Belt
• Their Excellencies William Walworth de Durham and Una Logan were appointed the Court Barony
• Her Excellency Mistress Duibheasa ingen ui hÉalaighthe was invited to the Order of the Pelican (then instructed to sit her vigil during the event by His Highness) - she was then elevated during Closing Court

Members of the populace who received special recognition as part of the [Joy Initiative]

Gifts were exchanged between Their Majesties and Their Excellencies. The Canton of Bard's Keep presented gifts to Their Majesties .

After court, it was time for feasting - and much feasting there was! Some members of the hosting organization, The Bushwacker Archery Club, dressed as Scots and visited with us.

Then a good portion of the populace followed Dame Uta to the archery range. Some qualified for Target Archery. Her Excellency Mistress Duibheasa gained permission to exit her Pelican Vigil to participate and became qualified as a Caid Marshal for Target Archery.

Dame Uta managed the "Robin Hood" Archery contest. Winners

• First place - Nicoletto da Piacenza
• Second Place - Lord Geoffrey of Camlann
• Third Place - Sir Kagetora no ichi igo

Memories

Joke of the Day: How long will SCAdians take to put up a canopy?

Answer: Depends, if it is period, a few minutes. If modern, 3 hours!

Special thanks goes to Lord Geoffery and Her Excellency Mistress Duibheasa for helping solve the Puzzle of the Instrunctionless Canopy! Without their ingenuity, we would not have had the large 10'x20' canopy for shade.
