The Barony of Blatha An Oir invites you to our traditional
mid-winter event on February 10^th, 2018.

The day’s activities will include a Swap Meet, Baronial Court, a
Pot-Luck Feast, and A&S Classes and Activities. 

Enclosed flame candles and festive table decorations are
encouraged. Please bring your own tablecloths to fit standard
6-foot rectangular banquet tables. Alcoholic beverages are allowed
(in period containers please). An open Gaming table will be
provided. Bring your tabletop games to share.

Tables and a garment rack will be provided for your Swap Meet
items. Please put your name (seller) and the price on each item.
Financial transactions, barter, etc. are strictly between the buyer
and the seller. There is a large parking lot at the facility, so we
have plenty of room for you to bring vehicles and trailers for
sale. All items not sold or given away must be removed prior to
resetting the tables for the feast.

Pre-Registration:
Due to the Banquet Permit requirement for a guest list, please send
an email to Annaka (alphamike99 at yahoo dot com) with the SCA
Names and Mundane names of those in your party, including youth.
This will also help us plan the food. Liking or saying you are
interested in the event on the Facebook page is nice but does not
get you on the guest list. Pay at the Door.
