<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>
