Their Excellencies Fiach & Anne-Marie, Baron & Baroness of Madrone, invite you to come to the Madrone Baronial Banquet, A Renaissance Roman Masque, April 3rd 2004 at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood.

The Madrone Culinary Guild will prepare a feast taken from Apicius, the famed Roman recipe book. This recipe book and Roman “masques” were very popular in Renaissance Europe, and late-period “masque” costumes are encouraged (look to http://costume.dm.net/masque/index.html for inspiration). Menu details will be published closer to the event.

Classes will be offered earlier in the day, followed by a Grand Processional and Baronial court. As befits a Masque, the feast will be followed by dancing led by Master Trahaern, and songs performed by the Madrone Madrigal Singers. The site opens at 10:00 am and closes at 11:00 pm.

The cost of the feast and the day of fun is $18.00 for members ($21.00 for non-members). There is no age discount for persons with feast tickets. Tickets for the feast must be purchased in advance, we will begin selling them February 15th.
