The air is crisp, the skies are a brilliant blue, and the last of the colored leaves are just starting to loosen upon their branches. What all of that means is that it’s time for our annual Harvest Revel at the Castle (with PIE)!<\/p>\n

The Harvest Revel will take place on Sunday, 19 November 2017 at the Castle (755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford, PA 15090 – map<\/a>). There will be some changes to parking, so there will be further information coming with details about those changes as we get closer to the date.<\/p>\n

The schedule has been updated and there is a change to the time of the Barony Meeting to accommodate other activities:<\/p>\n

11:00 a.m. – Site Opens, Thrown Weapons Practice
\n12:00 p.m. – Pie Competition Opens
\n1:00 p.m. – Barony Meeting, immediately followed by a Business Meeting (all are invited to participate)
\n1:45 p.m. – Choir Performance
\n2:00 p.m. – Heavy Weapons\/Rapier Practice<\/p>\n

There will be the usual launching of the pumpkins towards the end of the day. So, bring a pumpkin and see it go “SPLAT” in glorious fashion. Only fresh pumpkins are allowed, no rotting ones as they are awful to try and clean up.<\/p>\n

But I know what you’ve all been waiting for and that is the opportunity to win GLORY!!!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

As the Baroness and her crafty cohorts work on specifics for the Pie Competition (and the chance for GLORY!!!<\/b><\/i>). Here is what we know so far: The categories are FRUIT, VEGETABLE, and PERIOD. As always, the definition of pie is stretched to its absolute limit, all it has to be is a baked dish of fruit, or meat and vegetables, typically with a top and base of pastry. Whether you call it empanada, calzone, tart, Roman libum<\/i>, pasty, pye, trap, quiche, tourti\u00e8re, Bedfordshire clanger, or Bridie – it’s all pie. Ravioli? Pie. Piroshki? Pie. Chicken Pot Pie, even though it lacks the bottom crust? If Mary Berry says it’s pie<\/a>. It’s pie. This competition is about creativity, joy, and most of all GLORY!!!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

The schedule is still being confirmed and we will be updating as things are confirmed. If you would like to do something like offer a short class or coordinate some largesse-making activities (or anything else), please contact Odriana at seneschal (at) debatablelands (dot) org. For those of you who are concerned about such things, it’s a bye week for the Steelers.<\/p>\n

As usual, no garb required, unless you really want to wear garb. We will be happy to see you regardless of your attire.<\/p>\n

We thank Count Byron and Countess Ariella for again opening their home to us. If you’ve not yet been to the Castle, here<\/a> is a link to the information website for the Castle. It’s even better in person.<\/p>\n

If you’re on Facebook, please RSVP on the event page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
