[SCA-BMDL] Iris Festival - one lost and found, but tons of thank yous

[Sharon Booth]

Greetings noble populace,

We had a lovely Iris Festival again this year. Once again the weather 
was sunny and not too hot. The day full of horse play, classes, demos, 
food, and more cookies than you can possibly eat.

I'd like to start with lost and found, because if I don't you will miss 
it in all the thanks. There was a palm leaf fan left in the picnic 
pavilion. I attached a picture. Please contact sbooth at sbooth.net if it 
is yours or if you know who the owner is.

This event ran smoothly from the planning before event, to the setup 
Friday and Saturday, throughout the day, to the speedy cleanup, and 
beyond when I returned borrowed equipment, thanks to the help of so many 
people.

First, I want to thank everyone who attended. Special thanks to King 
Andreas Morgan and Queen Kallista Morganova who changed their plans to 
join us. Thanks to Baron Brandubh O Donnghaile and Baroness Hildarun 
Hugalmann for being such wonderful hosts. Thank you also to friends we 
have missed who came to the event, Master Creador, Mistress Ts'vee'a, 
and Mistress Amaryllis.

Thank you to THL Gesa, our equestrian marshal and inspiration for the 
queen and all the rest of us.

Thank you to THL Elss, THL Elsa, and THL Sasson for the food planning 
and the bento box lunches.
