Saturday, December 12, 2009 ~ 10:00 am to 9:00 pm
Longmont, CO

The year is 1009, and King Aethelred "the Unready" has decreed that there will be a cease in fighting throughout the British Isles as He wishes to celebrate Midwinter. Please join Their Excellencies, Bjarki and Asta, and the Barony of Caer Galen for the last feast before deep winter begins.

We will have the Captain of the Guard Tournament, voting for the Harp of Caer Galen, an A&S event focusing on the winter theme, and of course a huge amount of food! This is also the year to elect a new Doge, should our current one decide to spend the rest of his days in retirement.
