[SCA-BMDL] Barony Meeting and Harvest Revel this Sunday!

[Krista Cogan]

The November Barony Meeting and Harvest Revel is on Sunday, November 10th. Join us for a celebration of the autumn at Baron Byron and Baroness Ariella’s castle in Wexford: 755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford, PA. A big thanks to them for opening their home to us again! 
And what better way to celebrate than thwacking, tossing, singing and PIE! That’s right, we’ll have fighting (heavy and youth), thrown weapons, and archery, plus throwing pumpkins from the parapets (BYOP, no rotten ones!). 
Additionally, we'll have a glorious mini-concert by the talented Debatable Choir, and a heraldic consult table by Dame Elsbeth and her crew (they can help you with choosing and registering a name and a device for yourself). 
What would the Harvest Revel be without the pie contest? Bake your best, Debatable Lands! The competition is fierce and the pie fantastic! Please bring any pies or pie-like thing (Cookies? Crustless mini-pies. Cheesecake? Dense custard pie. Pasties? Savory wrap-around pie. You get the idea!) The categories this year are: Traditional, Period, and Pie You’ve Never Tried. As always, the entrant picks the category they want to enter their pie or pies into, with the interpretation largely left up to you. Traditional could be a pumpkin or apple pie. Period pies are best served with a touch of documentation, but it’s not necessary. Pie You’ve Never Tried could be a new recipe for you, or an unusual pie that most people haven’t tried, or heck, something else. Be creative! How do you win your category? Voting is populace favorite, so bring enough for everyone to sample. Each attendee at the Harvest Revel gets three markers. They put their marker into their favorite in each category. The pie or pies with the most markers wins! Ties will be broken by a panel of experts. The prize is being named the PIE-MASTER-SUPREME-O for the next year. The GLORY! Oh the GLORIOUS GLORY! And probably a little something else I can dig up. 
Also, our lovely Baroness will be choosing a very special pie as her very favorite, with the theme "Pie the Baroness Can Eat" and will give the winner a special award! She will be picking a pie from any of the above three categories, so make sure to label the allergens! She cannot have gluten (wheat, oats, rye, barley), much dairy, onions, red meat, or soy. Bring on the PIE!
Here's the schedule (it's somewhat flexible):Thrown Weapons and Archery start at 11am.Heraldic Consult Table starts at 11am.Pie contest runs from noon to 3pmChoir concert is at 1:45-ish, with Barony Meeting announcements to followFighting (Heavy and Youth) will start after announcements, about 2:15ish.Pumpkin tossing will happen at such time as feels appropriate. :)Notes: No garb, unless you really want to. There's no rapier fighting this year.  Some activities are weather-dependent. BRING PIE!

In Levitate et Caritate,
