<p>Fun and festivity abounds at the Twelfth Night Celebration for the
Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands! Please note that this year’s
location is different from that of previous years, and thus the
directions have changed also.</p>

<h2>Comestibles</h2>
<p>Bring your feast gear! For even though there will be no feast because
this is a free event, each person should bring a dish to share for the
Potluck. Any type of edible or drinkable is welcome and there are
outlets for crockpots and lots of counterspace. Be sure to mark your
dishes and serving utensils with your name, otherwise you will see your
items in next year’s Silent Auction!</p><p><br></p>
<p>Check the list of dishes and list your own dish on <a href="http://www.luckypotluck.com/potluck/BMDL12thNite2013">the event's potluck page</a>.</p><p><br></p>
