Food Truck Update, Lilies War 2024

From Rhianwen’s post on the Kingdom page.

Lilies Committee Chair here. We have unfortunately not been able to schedule nightly food trucks as we had originally anticipated. We may have partial coverage, but that remains to be seen. Please plan your dining accordingly.
What happened? At the last moment, we learned that the park had some unanticipated requirements for documentation and licensing from each truck. Some were unable to provide the needed information.
Please recognize the Herculean efforts of the food truck coordinators, Jane (Jane Fox) and Otto (Christopher Roller), as well as the Park Liaison, Brialen (Brialen Ulfsdottir). They worked extremely hard to coordinate and deliver the information, and their efforts are to be commended!
As Chair, I am the one accountable for not having asked the correct questions to the park at the right time. If you find yourself hangry and staring into an empty void where a food truck should be, please feel free to mutter, “Damnit, Rhianwen!”
Thanks for understanding. At least now we have a documented procedure for next year.

HE Duncan Bruce of Logan on Twelfth Night 2019

Posted by

From His Excellency Duncan Bruce of Logan, gleaned from MeWe.

Another successful and fun Twelfth Night in the Barony of Lonely Tower .

And to make this one extra special, His Excellency Thomas de Chateau Noir, the originator of the Social Club tournament was there. The Social Club went on for 4 hours of fighting. Between the top 5 finalists there were over 500 wins counted!

(For those of you who don’t know how the Thomas de Chateau Noir Social Club tournament works, it is a bear pit tournament where the winner stays on the field. The expectation is that the combatants will introduce themselves before each bout, and the loser informs the list table of the name of the winner. By the end of the day, all the fighters will have probably crossed swords with each of the others at least once, and hopefully will remember their names. Hence the “social” part.)

There were fighters from all over the kingdom, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

There was also an armored combat novice tournament that was well attended, in addition to several cut & thrust tournaments and a couple of A&S competitions.

Several worthy people were recognized by Their Majesties in court, many of which had to be fetched from the kitchen. Their Excellencies Lonely Tower celebrated their first year by announcing new archery and cut and thrust champions. And in Their final act in Their final court at Their final full event, Their Majesties brought Hugo van Harlo in Their Order of the Silver Hammer for all his research into and wonderful recreations of period map making techniques. Very well deserved.
