<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On Oct. 22 at </span></font>Bolado Park in Tres Pinos, Darkwood
will be hosting our annual Baroness’ Masked Ball. The theme is All
Hollow’s Eve<u>.</u> The day will be filled with fighting, dancing, games
and other merriment. This year we will be combined with Hawk’s Haven’s
Turkey Tourney. We will have not two but three turkeys available for the
champions of day. There will be one for the Chivalry, one for the unbelts, and
for the first time we will be adding a rapier list. The famous, or infamous,
cutting contest will also be held (so please bring your mightiest blades).
There will also be a boffer tourney for the next generation of warriors of our
fair lands (bring boffers, gloves, face protection, etc). Thought about period
dancing? This is the perfect event to try it for the first time. Classes
will be offered though out the day, with the Masked Ball in the evening. The
day will be completed with a marvelous feast featuring many wonderful fall
treats. Children will have the chance to go trick or treating during the
feast. There will also be a table decorating contest to see who can be
the most creative. Don’t forget this is a Masked Ball, so be
creative, but if you forget a mask, don’t worry there will be supplies on
site.</p>
