Court of Love (Grover Beach, CA)

Saturday March 9th, 2013 to Sunday March 10th, 2013

Greetings to All! The Canton of Borderwinds, in the Barony of Tarnmist, is announcing it's 29th Annual Court of Love will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2013. This "no hats" event will be held at Ramona Garden Park in Arroyo Grande, California.

This year's Lady of Love and Beauty is Lady Alaine ni Deorin, and our Lord Protector is Master Baron Achmere ib Tamim. They have selected the theme of "Winter Court of the Unseelie Dark Fey," and any form of the Fey Folk or their ilk- Unseelie, Seelie, Dark Fey, Light Fey, Fairies, Elves, Sluagh, Boogiemen, Brownies, Kelpies, etc., are welcome to the Winter Court of Her Most Beauteous Self, Lady Alaine. With the epicurically wonderful Lady Veronica de Lugano as Her Head Cook, the feast will be filled with many gastric delights. 

This year's Tourney will be a Wild Hunt, and will start when there are enough fighters to participate. Contact Baron Achmere for more information.

The Rules of Unseelie Love will definitely be enforced, and contests are thus: Lady Alaine's Choice-any kind of dessert (please no strawberries or coconut products); Best Garb Reflecting the Theme (there are no period/material limitations - this is a Fantasy Court!), and Best Table Decorations Reflecting the Theme. This can be done by a team, or by an individual (there's a prize for both). There will also be a dayboard for your snacking pleasure, as well as our usual auction, later, during the Feast. All donations are welcome. There also may be dancing. 

While children are heartily encouraged to participate during the day's activities, the night's Feast and entertainment is considered only suitable for those over the age of 16.  But fear not, good parents! A qualified sitter will be provided off site for those children who have journeyed to our fair realm, and many wonderful delights and games will be provided for their pleasure while you "let your hair down" at our fine feast and revel. Just let us know when you order your tickets. 

Limited crash space is available. Please inform the autocrat of any allergies or food specs you might have.
