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.

no charge at the door and no non-member surcharge! No reservations are 
required, and non-SCA friends are especially encouraged!No garb? No problem! Just email goldkey at debatablelands.org to borrow garb for your guests!You’ll want to bring a chair or stool so that you can be comfortable

Court of Misrule, the Debatable Choir, and the Baronial Court — there 
are no chairs upstairs, although there are picnic tables downstairs.

Comestibles
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!

Bring your potent potables — adult beverages are welcome at our Celebration!

Competitions

The Baronial A&S Champion will be chosen, in a competition run by our current A&S champion, Doña Sasha Gray. 



So also will the Baron’s Bardic Champion be chosen, in a competition 
run by our current Bardic champion, Lady Bugga of the Debatable Lands.

  
Back again this year, the exciting and delicious Cookie Baking 
Competition! Any person may enter cookies of any type — square or round,
 pressed or filled, tall or short, period or mundane or all of the 
above. Competitors are requested to bring a plate of cookies for the 
judges and an additional plate to share with the populace.

 Desirable Items.Anyone wishing to win will write in a bid, and the 
highest one wins BUT you must pick up your item at 2:30 PM or lose it to
 the next highest bidder!

Share your bounty with the less fortunate by bringing a 
non-perishable food item for the Baroness’ Collection for the North 
Hills Food Bank. Please note also that any *unopened* purchased food 
items remaining at the end of the Potluck will go to the Food Bank too.


Polish your performance skills and enter the Baron’s Bardic Competition, or just relax and be entertained!


Join in the Gift Exchange by bringing a wrapped gift valued under 
$20. Kids and adults are welcome, but if your gift is particularly 
adult, please mark it appropriately!


Let ’em eat cake — because that is how we’ll find the King and Queen of Misrule to preside over the Court of Fools!


Snack, nosh, and munch your way through the Potluck Feast, which will
 run all day and into the evening for your nibbling pleasure.


Enjoy the heavenly sounds of the Debatable Choir, which will entertain us all with a concert before Court.
