Adiantum’s Midwinter Feast Has Been Cancelled!
Unbeknownst to us, Food for Lane county has decided they need to commandeer the church hall because of the ice storm and the need to feed the population. We must graciously surrender the hall and cancel the Adiantum’s Midwinter Feast. An email is being sent to those who made reservations for the feast.
Please spread the word.

Adiantum’s Midwinter Feast
Brynjarr Olfus and Isis Sat Ne Nes Bastet, Baron and Baroness of Adiantum, invite you to Their Midwinter Feast, to be held on the 20th day of January 2014.
Finn Grim Baneson and Eduardo Francesco Maria Lucrezia, Their Highnesses of the Summits, will honor the Barony with Their Company and Their Court.
There are Baronial Championships to be contested: Bardic, Arts & Sciences, Rapier, and Cut and Thrust. There will be a bread making competition, as well as an Arts and Sciences Fair (display).
No Alcohol is allowed.
Please bring your own feast gear, enough for both lunch and dinner, and the means for transporting your dirty dishes home. You will not be able to wash your dishes on the site, which naturally means no washing of dishes in the bathrooms, please!
Cash or check only, please.
Morning Beverage Station
Hot coffee, hot apple cider, and hot water with a selection of black, green, and blend-your-own herbal teas will be available in the hall for attendees. Whole milk, sugar, and honey will be provided. (While supplies last.)
Please bring your own cup and stirring utensil. Please remember there are no facilities for washing dishes on site, so bringing more than one cup might be helpful. (Please remembers, cups, dishes, flatware cannot be washed in the bathrooms, and the kitchen is off limits to everyone except the Chef and her team at all times.)
Other Activities
