Winter Tidings
(2008-02-23 - Site opens at 1100 AM & Closes at 1000 PM)
Rivers Point

As Old Man Winter blows his blustery greetings across fair Atlantia, we here in Rivers Point have decided that a day of celebration is in order. We feel that a day of revelry, dancing, feasting, and rapier fighting will give everyone a chance to raise their spirits as we prepare for spring time.

Martial Activities: Rapier fighting only and this will be inside. Fighting will take place throughout the day and evening.

Arts and Sciences Activities: Isabel Henry will be coordinating an Arts and Sciences display for all those who wish to share their works past, present, and unfinished. Documentation is optional but encouraged. E-mail: (lumiere62@earthlink.net)

Brewing: For those who wish to share their spirits (with those of proper age, of course), Isabel Henry will be coordinating a brewers’ table as well. Try some—bring some! E-mail: (lumiere62@earthlink.net)
