Winter lingers in the air, and wraps us in its chill. What
better time to join together with friends for a day of revelry and
feasting. Please join the Canton of Silverhart on February
21, 2014 for our annual winter Feast of Fools! We will have
our very own Topsy-Turvey Day, which will include a Lord and Lady
of Misrule and a delicious French Feast. Please join us
for a day of merriment and hilarity to shake off the winter
duldrums!
There will be heavy fighting and a rapier tourney. There will
also be an arts & science populace choice competition, a silly
hat contest, and other activities including dancing and
bardic. The day will conclude with a topsy-turvey feast of
delicacies that starts with dessert.
At the Canton of Silverhart's
Feast of Fools, up is down and down is up. White is black and black
is white. Hot is cold and cold is hot. Peers are serfs and lords
and ladies mis-rule!
Wait, what?!
Oh, that's right. The foolages. Non-peers get to bid on a peer to
be their fool or jester for a couple of hours. Need some
entertainment? Ask your fool to sing. Are things around you too
serious? Ask your fool to dance. All forms of silly entertainment
are encouraged.
Several local peers have offered their time for this lighthearted
fundraiser for the Canton of Silverhart. So save your pennies to
bid to hear Dame Richenda croak like a frog, watch Master Ulrik
twirl like a ballerina, ask Dame Juliana to be your 3-year-old's
pet dragon, or come up with your very own entertainment for Baron
Lars to perform. If other peers are interested in offering their
time for the fundraiser, please contact Dame Richenda at
richenda.du.jardin@gmail.com
Do
you have a hat that is the height of foolish fashion? Are you dying
to make and wear a cap of epic silliness? Do you long for an excuse
to wear something ridiculous on your head? Then the Silly Hat
Contest at the Canton of Silverhart's Feast of Fools is for
you!
Bring your silliest hat, cap, or other headware, and enter it into
the Silly Hat Contest! Hats may be store bought, hand made, or a
combination of store bought with hand embellishment. Bonus points
will be awarded for extravagant silliness; so, don't be afraid to
be a mad hatter one this occasion because you might just find
yourself chosen the winner!
Silly Hat Contest -- wear your silliest hat to the event and vie for a prize for the silliest hat in attendance!
Dancing -- Mistress Juliana de Luna has graciously offered to teach Dancing once again!
Heraldic Consulting -- Dame Richenda du Jardin, Black Lion Priniciple Herald of An Tir, has graciously offered to have a heraldry consultation table for those interested in getting their name or device into submission.
A Foolage -- As a fundraiser for the Canton, we will be holding a silent auction for Foolages. The person(s) winning the Foolage will receive a certificate to commemorate their achievement as well as getting to choose as a jester a Peer from among those Peers who have so generously and graciously volunteered to participate. The Peers participating in the Foolage may secure their release from it at any time during the day by matching the bid that won the Foolage. Many Thanks to Mistress Julianna and Dame Richenda for proposing such a fun fundraiser!
