Have you ever wanted to experience what it might have been like to be  
a member of the nobility in the Middle Ages?   You'll have that chance  
the weekend of November 1-3, at the An Tir Kingdom Feast, hosted by  
the Kingdom of An Tir!  An event like this will not soon come again to  
our fair shores.  An all too rare combination of culinary mastery  
combined with the marvelous diversity of our kingdom's Bardic talents  
will help ring in the winter in fine style.  Your senses will be  
teased into directions only previously imagined; medieval delicacies  
will tantalize your taste buds; a gathering of bards will entertain,  
enthrall, and educate you with their ancient crafts. Witness the  
Braggers Duel and cheer on your champions to ever more ridiculous  
heights.  Come ye gentles all to a celebration of the palette and the  
heart this November!

The actual feast will take place on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at  
Ocean Shores Convention Center, 120 West Chance a-la-Mer, Ocean  
Shores, WA 98569.  The day will focus on foods from different areas  
and different sections of time throughout the medieval period. Bardic  
performances shall happen all over the facility throughout the  
weekend. We will have various games available, and invite others to  
bring their games/game boards to display, play, and instruct others  
how to play.  Classes covering the culinary and bardic arts are also a  
possibility.  No meetings or court are planned at this time.  You  
don't even need to pack feast gear; all you need to bring is your own  
cup!
