Come join the Province of Southern Shores for a day of gaming, and put a little jingle in your purse! The day’s activities will include casino style gaming with several tables of different games along with classes on how to play them, a make-and-take game board class and games, and activities for the kids. We will also have a silent auction throughout the day with goodies made and/or donated by the talented members of Southern Shores, just in time for the holidays.
In the evening, we will dine on a late period French feast cooked by Aaliz de Saint-Joseph. Feast tickets are available now. Please contact either Aaliz or Apollonia Faust to reserve your spot.
The Brick Spoon Competition: The category this year is finger foods. Please bring your favorite period finger food (with documentation) to be judged. Cooks of ALL experience level are encouraged to compete!
Silver Tongued Devil: This bardic competition puts your impromptu skills to the test. The current Silver Tongued Devil will choose a topic. The contestants make up their best story on the spot, and it’s always entertaining.
Half Dirty Dozen Largesse Competition: Since it’s always a busy time of year, this competition only requires that participants make 6 of a particular item to be donated as largesse. The populace will vote for their favorite, and the winner will be able to choose one of their favorite items to keep. The rest will be donated to kingdom largesse.

WARGY!!!!!
Muster your forces, unfurl your banners and gather your pride! The time of the Wargy is nigh!
On Sunday February 7th, in the beautiful lands of Vinhold (Skyline park in Napa), the Wargy will commence (again)!!. This is an all day resurrection WAR graciously sponsored by the Shire of Canale . The field will be laid out in the shape of the Principality of the Mists ( bay area ), and divided out to the landed groups who reserve a slice of territory to defend. Heed the call to war, expand your horizons, annex your neighbors, and protect your hearth and home. At the end of the day, the group that holds the land gets the treasure! There will be A&S activities too!!
Each group who wishes to hold their own piece of the warfield MUST have their commander RSVP to the autocrat by midnight Jan 11th 2016, with an approximate troop count.
Each unit which receives land must bring the following things to the Wargy:
- troops, hired or native (each team must have a minimum of 4 fighters)
- A war banner on a pole that is at least 6’ tall.
- A treasure chest filled with fortunes worthy of the “pride” of the group
- war support, by supplying the equivalent of at least 1 all-day marshal, and 1 all day support staff ( gate work/ hydration support/ clean bathrooms etc. Broken up however you wish)
- To claim your land, at least the commander (or designate) and one other team member must be on site by 9:30
Suggestions for aspiring conquerors:
*some extra means of payment for the mercenaries you will want to hire!Not attached to a group, or your group did not get land? No problem, mercenaries are period!! We will provide the territorial groups the opportunity to vie for your services
Rapier activities are planned!!
