Mists Bardic 2022 @ Santa Cruz Masonic Lodge
Oct 22 all-day

As autumn is nearly upon us and my year of service draws to a close, it
brings me great joy to announce that Mists Bardic will be held at the Santa
Cruz Masonic Lodge on October 22, 2022!

Come and join us as we gather to celebrate the Bardic Arts and witness the
competition to determine the next Bard of the Mists, the best job in the
Knowne World.

The competition will be compromised of the traditional five rounds:

  • Period Piece
  • Piece in a Period Style
  • Masterwork
  • Sitting Bard’s Choice: Inclusiveness and Welcome
  • Five Words from a Hat

Please provide brief documentation for the Period Piece and the Piece in a
Period Style. In keeping with recent changes to our Society guidelines, we
welcome styles from bardic traditions from all pre-1601 cultures world-wide.
It is preferred that all pieces presented, with the exception of the Period
Piece, be the competitor's own work. Auditors are welcome.

In the interest of protecting the health of all attendees to the best of our
ability, we have made the hard decision to forego a feast this year.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own food and drink and to
maintain social distancing as possible.

Midwinter Fae Fête @ Sons of Norway Hall
Jan 21 @ 9:00 am – 8:30 pm

Have you heard the tinkling of bells on the breeze, seen mushroom rings popping up throughout the fields, hear the music drifting through the leaves of the ancient oak trees, or perhaps feel the mists that swirl and dance between sea and land, marsh and forest. Can you see the shadowy figures gathering?

Ahhh the space between the worlds call. There is a rumor the veil will be open for one night. Would you dare to enter?

The Lady of the White Hart has been called upon to once again sound the horn, this time to gather the courts, at a magical woodland hall, resplendent in gold and silver, suns and moons, oak leaves and holly. A place of magic and mischief.

Mortals and fae are invited to compete, game, dance, feast and frolic. Goblins watch with hungry eyes while dryads and beasties move through the woodlands beckoning you to follow.

Are you ready to answer the call and experience the splendors of the fae realm? Well now is your chance. Visit us at the Midwinter Fae Fête hosted by the Shire of Wolfscairn.

Events:

Looking to chase away the midwinter blahs. The Lady of the Whitehart beckons you to attend the Fae Fête. All activities will start promptly at the stated time so plan accordingly.

  • Heavy, Rapier and CT Tournaments 10:am.
  • Children’s contest: build a fairy ring 10-11am
  • Games of chance (all ages) 11am to 1pm
