The Accessibility Porter’s checklist is pending.

Now that we have entered the Christmas season it is time for Owlsherst and community to celebrate.  There will be various delights throughout the day, including games, entertainments, music performances, and dancing.  To show your prowess, planned events also include both adult and youth Armored Combat, as well as Rapier.  The traditional Owlsherst’s King Cake will be served early in the afternoon with the expressed desire to extend the Reign of Misrule!  A light dayboard will be provided at mid-day, followed by a Byzantine Feast at approximately 5:30 p.m.  After-Feast activities will include music and dancing.
