[Nordskogen] Coronation Arts, and Sciences, and Bardic, Oh My!

[ester030 at umn.edu]

Greetings Nobles of Nordskogen,

It is my pleasure to announce the themes for the Bardic and A&S displays.  

 The Bardic theme is “Get Ready to Fight” in any and all formats from 
songs, to poems, to (my personal favorite) stories. Brownie points will be 
awarded for period formats, but only creativity and some courage is 
required.

The A&S competition will have a populous competition with a prize, but with 
a twist. Instead of counting beans to decide the winner, we will be 
counting written comments. Paper and writing utensils will be provided. 
Unfinished projects are more than welcome.

Documentation is required for this competition, however a 3x5 card will be 
provided if anyone forgets.

I would like to encourage everyone to go and view the A&S competition. The 
more opinions and advice gathered the more likely an entry will win, 
hopefully in more ways than one. Come support your fellow artists.

A correction must be made from my previous announcements. The tournaments 
will be for -Captains- not champions. I suppose they both start with “c” 
would be my only excuse.

And finally for the crowning glory (like you could resist that pun) of this 
anouncment-the fabulous Lunch Menu.

Soup and extras $5.00

In honor of His Majesty Lars and His beautiful Queen Mary, a bountiful 
lunch of three soups and munching extras shall be available made from 
recipes from His Majesty's persona's time period and geographic region.
