[Karen Finnemore]

Unto the noble populace of the Sylvan Kingdom of Aethelmearc, does the
Shire of Blackwater extend invitation!  The Fall Crown Tournament of
Their Royal Majesties, Duncan and Ilish, shall take place on October
16, 2010 from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. at Firemans Park in Allegany, NY
14706, whereby Their Royal Majesties shall find suitable Heirs to
carry Their lineage!  (There is no proper street address, however,
Mapquest and Google Maps recognize the site as “Firemans Park,”
Allegany, NY 14706.)  The autocrats for this are Lady Renata l’rouge,
(Karen Finnemore, 7777 Searles Rd, Friendship, NY 14739, (585)

Mile Rd, Lot #119, Allegany, NY 14706, (716) 372-4140.)  No calls

In lieu of a traditional feast, the Shire is pleased to offer a
bountiful daylong sideboard, prepared by the hand of Lady Aleyd von
Kiel, supplemented by special Grillmaster Duke Matthew Blackleaf.  All
dietary concerns may be sent to Lady Aleyd, (Cheryl Ronolder,
clhbearlover at yahoo.com, 3274 Maple Avenue, Allegany, NY 14706.)

As per Their Majesties wishes, this day will celebrate the glory of
all things medieval.  As such, They have requested that the list be
lined only with period galleries and pavilions.  There will be space
for non-period set-ups behind the immediate list area.  Modern
conventions should be camouflaged, such as coolers, chair, bottles,
etc.  If you wish to reserve a spot for your pavilion near the list,
please send your space dimensions and notation of whether your tent is
period or modern to our reservation clerk, Duchess Anna Blackleaf,
(contact information is listed below.)

children 5 and under are considered guests of the Shire.  Reservations

Pre-registering for this event will help to ensure that we have
adequate food for all.  The only good reservation, is a paid
