Hear ye, hear ye! Come one, come all!

Hearken, ye merry and whimsical beasts of the Realm!

I, thy humble herald and promoter of mirthful gatherings, do bid thee lend thine ears. I come to beseech thee to put forth a most noble event — one wherein folk who seek adventure, the honing of craft, or delight may tempt fortune, prove their prowess, or simply partake in the joys of rest and fellowship and be drawn to thy revels with the merry strains of music and cheer!

Shouldst thou possess such a merry happening, let not thy plans remain hidden in shadow. Send them unto me, and I shall bear them on wings of word to the furthest fires of the encampment. Let adventurers, bards, and wanderers near or afar be drawn by the call — whether in pursuit of glory, craft, or joyous revelry amid harp and horn beneath the stars.

Deliver thy missive unto me, thy Steward of Merriment, in the form thus outlined and I shall inscribe it for all to see:

The title of thy noble gathering:
Speak plainly of what mirth, challenge, or craft awaits those who attend:
The one who doth take up the mantle of host for this revel:
When the bells shall toll to commence the merriment:
Where within the realm shall this gathering unfold:

I bid thee, let thy tidings reach mine hands ere the 25th day of July, if thou wouldst see thy merry revel inscribed upon the sacred scroll of printed lore, to be passed from hand to hand 'neath sun and star.

Your Herald of Revelry and Joyous Mischief,
Xander Frost~

2025 Cider Tasting: North/South Cider

What? - A low-key casual cider tasting!

When? - Probably Friday after dinner. South Cider tasting first, North Cider tasting next (each around 40 minutes)

Where? - Somewhere with tables

Who? - Everyone who signs up gets a spot at the front of the table (others can still join, but I can’t guarantee a taste of everything)

What to bring? - A cup, maybe a portable light, and gumption.

2025 - Great Cocktail Mixoff!

WHAT IS IT!? - Like Iron Chef, but with mixology. 3 teams of 3-5 mixologists each strive to make the best cocktails possible using the mystery ingredients provided while the 10 minute timer clicks down to zero! Their creations will then be judged by 3 fabulous celebrity judges! There will be three rounds, one for each mystery ingredient!

This is not meant to be taken seriously. I’m going to give y’all some weird ingredients and hope the result is delightful chaos rather than stale perfection.

WHEN IS IT!? - Saturday after dinner!

WHAT TO BRING!? - If you have your own mixology set up for your team or want to loan us some ingredients for the bar. All teams will get a shaker, strainer, and bar spoon. (I’m bringing the basics, and not much else) feel free!

WHERE? - Somewhere with tables!

Title: Coyote science hangout. With cocktails!

Historical disaster shows have definitely become popular again, especially nuclear ones as the science is still widely misunderstood, despite us all knowing how an RBMK reactor can’t blow up :wink: Having grown up in the Hanford area with my parents working at the area, I was always immersed and fascinated by it, and would love to help spread easy information and stories during an informal hangout. Also fucking science <3

Host: Serrano coyote (Me)

Time: After dinner Friday, 8pm

Oh great and noble Xander!

Heed these words, that you might come to know that which I have forseen…

There shall be on the second night, beneath the setting quarter moon, profound visions of such clarity that one might mistake them to be alive and with us now!

I see writ amongst the seas and the stars… A story of truly absurd folly, misfortune, learning, and love… Creatures, constructions, mischief, and mayhem!

Through the powers of most carefully crafted crystals, cunning alchemy, and the Sun itself I will share these sights with any and all who come to witness this miraculous divination!

Of such power whimsy are these sights, I have stockpiled for any who may need an assortment of libations, without which one’s psyche may very well become injured!

Join me, after the setting of the summer sun, as the horizon blends into the night sky, and be amazed!

The title of thy noble gathering:
Witness the Fall and Rise of Jean Kayak

Speak plainly of what mirth, challenge, or craft awaits those who attend:
We’re guna watch Hundreds of Beavers, and I’ll have beer to share!

The one who doth take up the mantle of host for this revel: Celanor!

When the bells shall toll to commence the merriment:
Friday, August 1st at 10:00 PM

Where within the realm shall this gathering unfold:
Wherever I end up camped! Look for the white Transit Connect with cat stuff!
