Saturday, March 17, 2012 - 09:01 AM, Golden Seamstress is only 1 week away!
If you are on a team, just wanted to remind you of a few things.
There will be munchies, coffee and tea for the over night, along with breakfast provided for those that are on teams. A lunch and dinner tavern will be available for an added fee as well. Please bring a vacuum if you have one to aid in cleaning up your space at the end of the event.
Also for those not on a team the Barony again will be working on a few special projects at the event. If you always wanted to come to the event, but are not on a team, come join the Roaring Wastes team. We will be making bags for the new Baronial chairs and Youth Champion fighting tunics. So far we have myself, Urban, Tess, Anabel and Rhuah on the team. Contact Baroness Una if you would also like to join us!

Special story for Michail... Looks like preping for zombies has been around for a LONG TIME!
(CBS News) Halloween is still more than one month away but archeologists working in Ireland have uncovered a couple of 8th century human skeletons that point to a ghoulish story.
The skeletons, dug up between 2005 and 2009 at Kilteasheen, near Loch Key in Ireland, were found with stones stuck into their mouths. Researchers examining the remains suggest this may have been related to a belief among the locals that this practice would prevent the dead from returning to walk the Earth as zombies.

A metal detector enthusiast has found a major hoard of Viking silver in a field on the Cumbria-Lancashire border. Darren Webster, from Carnforth, uncovered more than 200 silver pieces including ornate bracelets, coins and ingots in a lead pot.
He said he had searched the same undisclosed location several times before and found nothing.
The silver is now with experts at the British Museum, who described the find as "of national significance". They will reveal their findings at the end of the year.
