Salve Accolens Debatable Lands!

Our very own Mistress Ts’vee’a (mka Gail Lefkowitz) is collecting memories to display on a “wall of quotes” celebrating the 50th Birthday of our very own Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands! There will be six prompts in total, posted on Stórfréttir, Facebook and Discord through May 18. Please include your SCA name at the beginning of each response; you can email responses to lefkowitzga@gmail.com.

Here is the next prompt:
Have you held any offices or positions in the Barony? Any stories during any of those?

Yours in Service,
Finé Fáiláin of the Debatable Lands

There is a Barony 50th birthday party celebration on May 25th. There is another event just two weeks later. On June 8th there is an Equestrian, Guild Hall, and Japanese Iris Festival event. It will be held in the horse arena (F) and picnic shelters 2 & 3 at Bradys Run Park, 121 Brady’s Run Road, Beaver Falls, PA 15010 (park map). There are two equestrian rings and trails for horses and riders to enjoy and compete with mounted archery, baronial equestrian champs, and jousting, weather permitting. You must contact Gesa von Wellenstein if you plan to bring a horse or participate in equestrian games gwellenstein@yahoo.com.

We are also inviting local and kingdom guilds as well as individual artists to fill our guild field. Bring your craft to share, demo, and teach. If you have a make and take project to offer, please come share that. The site has a big shelter where lunch will be served. That shelter has one 20 amp electric circuit that must be shared. There is also a water pump next to the lunch shelter. There are a number of shady spots and lots of room for pop-ups, tables, chairs, tarps or drop cloths and parking around the field for easy load and unload of your equipment and materials.  

Here are a few activities that will be there:

There will be a Japanese metalworking class on sen-zogan, offered by a relative newcomer to the area. There will be woodworking make and take where you can make a wooden token. There will be a spinning demo where you can try spinning and learn more about it. An embroidery demo where you can embroider on a large framed piece. Brewers doing brewer stuff. I am not sure if they will be brewing, bottling, sharing and tasting, or all of the above. The archery guild will be there and the clothiers guild will both be there.

We invite more artists and guilds to join us. The class & guild coordinator is Lady Finé Failain. If you want to join us, please fill out this form so we reserve space for you. Contact information for Lady Finé is listed on the form if you have additional question. 

THL Elss of Augsburg is preparing a bento box lunch. Contact Elss of Augsburg,elss.of.augsburg@gmail.com, by June 1st with any dietary restrictions or requests for gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan meals. The autocrat for this event is Hara Shonagon, Sharon Booth, 1105 Shady Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232, 412-441-1607, sbooth@sbooth.net. This is a land line, no text. The event announcement on barony website will have a detailed site map and schedule closer to the day.
