What an event!
The Venue was SUPERB! Thanks to our hosts the Everhart Clan and to Cap'n Redcap for introducing us!
The 4 course Feast DESERVED the name the roasted pork loin was was slow cooked to "fork cut", with a excellent gravy ( which got high marks from Lynn Everhart ) the glazed carrots were berry sweet, and potatoes savory, and the Bread pudding was EXCELLENT ( Thanks Lauralei!) with both the strawberry sauce and Rum sauces bringing people back for seconds ( and sometimes thirds!).
The Tourney went off smoothly, drawing fencers form outside the Corsairs, including a visit from Lord Sir Kheldar HIMSELF, from the Empire of Chivalry and Steel. Newcomers were invited to fence and SHOCKINGLY won their first two BOUTS! Congratulations to Shawn and Andy!
The Purse of Gold, after adding up the list was FIFTY DOLLARS, in American Gold coins!
Congratulations to the Tournament Champion ( decency and humility forbid me to name the Winner)
Suffice to say that the fencing was of high caliber.
We made such a favorable impression that we have been invited back! So the Pirate Feast now has a home!
What with fine food, fencing and Drink, everyone had a grand time!
See you all there next year!
