The MAC has canceled this event. We're putting the energy into the April event, "Feast of Fools".
Greetings everyone, from Lord Conogan mab Rioc!
I am very pleased to announce the seventh Feast of Fools will be held in the Shire of Lyndhaven on Saturday, April 3rd. The specific location will be at the Lindsay Valley lodge in Oromocto. I will be the autocrat for the event.
The hall will open at 5 pm, and the feast will start at 6:30. After the feast, we will have music, dancing, and some foolishness! We will have at least one "official" fool in attendance, and hopefully more!
The fee for the event is $10 for adults (14 and older), and $5 for children and youth (13 and younger). Babes-in-arms are free. U.S. cash will be accepted at par, but no U.S. cheques can be accepted. Please register for the event by Saturday, March 27th, so the kitchen knows the number of attendees.
The feast will be prepared by the lovely and talented Lady Mariota of Kildare. She has many delicious items planned, and some surprises!
The event will be dry. No animals are allowed, except service animals. All candles must be in non-combustible containers (i.e. no wooden candle stands).
Event attendees are encouraged to revel in the spirit of foolishness! I would love to hear from anyone who wishes to actually perform as a fool before, during, or after the feast.
Yours in Service,
Lord Conogan mab Rioc, the Breton
