Hallowtide II
04 November, A.S. XLI (2006)
Shire of Blackwater
sponsored by the Shire of Heronter
Trinity United Methodist Church 131 N 9th St Olean, NY
14760
As the Harvest is in, the animals sequestered safely
once again, and the seasons change we, in the Shire of
Blackwater, invite the Glorious Populace of
Aethelmearc and her friends to join us in celebration
of Hallowtide.   We are thrilled to host this event at
Trinity United Methodist Church 131 N 9th St Olean, NY
14760.  Site opens at 9:00 am and closes at 9:00pm. 
As the days grow shorter and the winter chill is in
the air, knowing that the winter storms are to soon
break upon us, gather with us to feast and listen to
the tales of old.
Activities:
The Dawn of the Dead Tourney will encircle the
fighters as we have melee combat indoors and a
Werewolf Tourney will bring back defenders of the
Hallowtide. 

We haven't forgotten the rapiers, Oh no!  Fencers will
also have their skills tested. Come and defend the
title of the Great Rapier Defender of Hallowtide.

Her Grace, Duchess Anne Blackleaf, has graciously
consented to amuse and devise nefarious schemes to
entertain the youth that dare to attend...even to the
extent of having a Pumpkin/Jack-o-Lantern contest!  

There will be various classes conducted by our good
gentles.

There will also be a silent auction to raise funds for
the Shire and a gas card for travel needs of the
royals of our Glorious Kingdom. 
Feast will be presented by Lady Emma Idone, (Misty
Bebko, 4115 S. 9 Mile Rd. Allegany, NY 14706, 716 373
