    Come join the Barony of the Angels to celebrate our places in time! We invite everyone
    to show off tokens, symbols, garb, and accoutrements iconic for your persona’s place in
    history.
    We will have a variety of contests for champions. The martial lists for double-
    elimination Armored, Rapier, and Cut & Thrust combat will be three counted blows, one of which must be a killing blow, combos count. There will be a Youth champion if there is sufficient participation. There will also be a display of Harnischfechten armored combat, which is purely a delight to watch.
    There will be an Arts & Sciences display and a competition to determine the baronial Arts & Sciences champion. You’re encouraged to show the art you create to make your persona’s space in time feel more authentic, especially while using needed modern world items. Do you use a certain type of cover for your chair or water dispenser? How do you disguise your cooler, your camera, your water bottle, your phone? What heraldry do you use and what flags do you fly to create historical ambience? Let your persona fall back in time! Mistress Adelheit Schwarzenkatze, OL, will lead a team of laurels and other artisans who will be available in the display area to provide feedback for those seeking to discuss their art.
    The barony will also have its traditional cooking competition, the Hester Spoon! Last
    year’s winner, THL Rayhana bint Estafanos al-Abbas, will be running the competition.
