[Katherine Courtney]

The Barony of Brendoken cordially invites you to attend Brendokenfest 2009, to 
be held April 25 at the Tuscarawas County Fairgrounds in Dover, Ohio. 
Plans are underway for a full day of fun including armoured and rapier combat, 
equestrian activities, arts and sciences, performing arts, and merchants. This 
event will also include Brendoken's baronial championship competitions, but 
the event is a regular event and not just of interest to the Brendoken 
populace. 
After a day of fighting, shopping, and fun of all sorts, enjoy a themed 15th 
Century English feast prepared by Giles fitz Alan and his team.

chairs or benches for your day camp.

Fun Stuff

merchants, and a special appearance by the Magic Carpet Kavehane  who offer 
"our loyal customers" the following offer:  The price of a cup of Turkish coffee 
or a sweet will continue to be a song, a dance, a tale, or a tune.
