The Kingdom of Artemisia

Saturday, January 12th, 2013
First Congregational Church
301 N 27th Street, Billings, MT 59101

Light a candle and greet the new calendar as we host the 30th Anniversary of this wondorous event here in our Shire. Indoor combat aplenty will decide the new champions for the year ahead in both the armored and rapier arenas. We will also have a new Bardic champion chosen during dinner.

Activities will include heraldry, games and classes for children and adults, and socializing with new and old friends from near and far. We will be graced with the presence of Crown Prince Daman and Crown Princess Veronique, who may ask for Court time at their leisure.

Bring your coins for a fun and exciting and never before seen Kingdom fundraiser from your local and Kingdom heralds. Any funds raised will go towards the Kingdom Herald’s office for new reference material. It has been a decade since any new books were purchased.

Feast will be taken from the pages of Platina, so a Roman bounty is to be expected from the best cooks our Shire has to offer. We expect that the tables will be filled with hungry folk around 6:30 p.m. Feast will accomodate 80 people, please contact the Head Cook to make Reservations.
Feast reservations would appreciated by December 10, 2012, pre-payment not required. Please make any checks out to the Shire of Bronzehelm, SCA, Inc.

Feast Menu will be available, soon!

You should be able to finish your first project during the event! Please let me know before Jan 8th if you are wanting to participate, so she can be sure to bring enough kits with her.

3:00 pm – HL Aletheia Isidora of Philae will present a talk on the back story of The Hobbit, which will be an entertaining journey through the history of the book and the films. Tea-time nibbles will be available.
