Largesse Competition,
sponsored by the Shire of Deodar, Fina contact (finathelost@hotmail.com),a
display of the largess items will be held in the Activities tent Wednesday from
10:00am to 1:00pm. The final display and judging will be at the activities tent
Friday at 11:00am.
The Shire of Deodar is sponsoring a Largesse Competition to
be held at Lilies War this year, with all entries becoming the property of their
Majesties Calontir. Prizes will be awarded in 3 categories, Kingdom Gifts,
Crown Gifts, & Order Medallions. Participants are asked to contact our
competition co-coordinator to ensure there are no duplications. (Why you
ask would we do that? Imagine Their Majesties joy at transporting home
from Lilies 57 large chairs because three different groups made 19 each.
Such generosity is not unheard of in Calontir!) We would encourage all who
are interested in entering the competition to keep in mind the big three of
largesse, all things should be portable, non-breakable, and non-
perishable.) Our experience as the largesse factory of the kingdom has
taught us the value of working in groups.

criteria:

Please contact Berenguerra Fineya, known as Fina, if you have any questions or
would like to receive some possible suggestions of largesse items their
majesties would appreciate. Again we urge you to let us know if there is
an item you are planning to make, so that we can encourage others to try their
hands at something else. (I'm having nightmares that I must explain 200
sewing kits and how this competition seemed like such a good idea at the time to
Valens & Susannah)

arming caps, or falcon tabards, or bars of soap made for the Crown by a large
number of people! (If more than 3 people were involved - it might just be
a BIG Project!)
