At-a-Glance Event Information - Arts and Science

Come join us May 25th through May 28th for a celebration of Love & War. Our theme this year is the Crusades, or East meets West. The event features archery and A&S. To help us celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Alles Faire, we would like to invite you to the 2nd Annual Southern Lights Faire. The faire will consist of the following:

- Southern Lights A & S Competition: Southern Lights is a Novice competition. The purpose of the event is to encourage those who are in the early levels of their journey in the field of Arts and Science events by judging in such areas as Workmanship, Materials, Techniques, etc. Those holding Kingdom or Society level Arts and Science awards are ineligible to enter.

- Southern Lights Youth Competition: A special competition will be held for those artisans under the age of 16. This competition will feature similar categories to that of the Novice Competition.

- Artisan Exhibition: The Artisan Exhibition is open to any artisan wishing to display their work. It is not limited to Novice entrants.

- A Day at the Guildhall: A Day at the Guildhall welcomes representatives of Guilds of the East Kingdom to share their craft.

Come, talk and share! Please contact Mistress Bricia de Neubold at ladybrynn@yahoo.com for further information.

Faire Schola: A full schedule of classes for the novice to the advanced will be presented during the event. If you would like to teach please contact Master Gavan MacBane at Gavan@MacBane.com for further details.

A sumptuous banquet will be served Saturday. We hope to have our usual excellent merchant row as well. Sunday features our besieging the Tower of Love joust with the ladies providing defense using their Rose Bombs. After an excellent al fresco repast we will dance the evening away to the music of the Branslers.
