Samhain

Samhain Event

Saturday October 24, 2009     9 am to 9
pm        

Pioneer Hall in Lake Creek,
Oregon

 

The Shire of Glyn Dwfn invites you to share in our Samhain
Event celebrating the glorious coming of the Fall in our
magnificent Southern
Shire.  The day will be filled with amazing feats of
skill and chivalry, fierce fighting for prizes worth
coveting, arts and crafts displays, educational classes, and
fabulous feasting, all the while being regaled with tales of
glorious battles won and enemies vanquished.

 

For the fighters:  There will be a ZOMBIE TOURNEY
(Apparently you will fight till you’re dead, then fight some
more!)  Prizes, prizes, prizes…

 

Blackwork Embroidery: 
Bring a hoop if you have one, colored or black thread,
needles.  There will be demonstrations and instruction
and some supplies for practice.

 

Gate instruction:  Wonder how gate is handled? There are
new rules that all members should be aware of and we will be
having an instructional talk that everyone is invited to
attend.

 

Arts and Sciences Display:  Have you made or discovered
something that you would like to share with others? 
Bring it with a description card so that it can be displayed
and enjoyed by others.

 

BLANKET SWAP and MEDIEVAL FAIRE:  Like the Champagne
Faires of Olde, when the populace gathered to trade and
barter and sell!  Bring your no-longer wanted or needed
items for swap/sale.  Bring your handicrafts for oohs
and ahhs and, perhaps some pocket change.  Bring that
tunic that got, well, a “tad snug” or those children’s
“period boots” that now cramp those little
feet.  We’d like to make this an annual event
(we’re thinking of calling it “Ye Baye”) when we can clean
out or fill up our closets according to our needs and wonts.
  We are especially requesting items for smalls but
we will be happy for everyone to participate, and the more
people and items involved, the more successful and better it
will be for everyone.  If you needed or wanted it at
some point, chances are someone else did too.  Bring it
all down and see what happens!

 

Samhain will be held at Pioneer Hall in Lake Creek, 1739 So
Fork Little Butte Creek Road, Eagle Point, Oregon.  From
Hwy 62, (south of White City), head east on Hwy 140 for 12
miles till you reach the Lake Creek turnoff (signs will be
posted).  Bear right on Lake Creek Loop and stay to the
right when you reach South Fork Little Butte Creek
Road.  Continue approximately 1 mile to the town of Lake Creek.  Pioneer Hall is
on the left.  There will be parking at the Grange Hall
(on the right as you come in to town).  There is NO
parking allowed in front of the General Store.This is a
“dry” site, no alcohol is allowed in Pioneer Hall. 
Water supply is limited so
please be conservative and bring your own if possible.
