Eat, Sing, Dance and be Merry. Celebrate winter with
Hartwood. Dress in the traditional blue & white or be
daring and wear green & white. (For those who do not have
the time or servants to create a new outfit in correct
colours, your presence is most important.) Bring Arts and
Science projects, past and present, complete or not, to
exhibit on the display table. Contests: A Bardic contest:
song, poem, story – period-like please. Use the
following words: Goose, Jubilo*, Lutefisk, Nativity, Sorry,
Tabard, White, Yule. (* means Jubilant) As the feast is held
during December, a prize will be granted to the Best Antidote
to Winter (note: Dry site). Use imagination! The
Children’s contest: a snowflake in any medium. White
Court Pas de Faux – A&S Hoax Competition, sponsored by
Mistress Nadezhda Toranova Entries are called for in the
following categories: 1) Holiday themed artefact: can be
documentation for a non-period item(such as popcorn strands
on xmas trees); reconstruction of an imaginary item (such as
marchepane tree topper). Interpretations of these guidelines
can be a loose as you like – just have fun with it. 2)
A story to explain a completely bizarre aspect of your
persona (think Japanese man in early Scotland or Viking
married to a woman from the Renaissance . . .). Please note
that “documentation” will take you far in both of
these categories. Prizes for Populace Choice and
Judges’ Choice in each category. Entries accepted
between 4 and 6 pm, For examples, please see:
