Welcoming a New Member

Well that was quick! Shortly after starting her maternity leave, Lady Thyri and her husband welcomed little Miss Juniper. Thyri and Juniper are doing well, and we are so excited to meet the newest member of the Shire!

It's been a busy few weeks in the Shire. Last week we welcomed Lady Cecily of York for Calligraphy 101. Lady Marguerite used her new skills on her first solo scroll for Schutzenfest.

Baroness Bebhinn and Marguerite ventured down to Nordskogen for Schutzenfest. Bebhinn ran the kitchen and did a remarkable job running the kitchen for the weekend and feeding the flock of archers that descended upon her.

Margurerite spent Saturday on the range, having fun with the crazy awesome shoots, including skewering a poor stuffed teddy bear.

Bebhinn and Marguerite were both honored in court, Bebhinn was awarded the Cygnus and Marguerite received the Black Bolt.

This weekend was quiet as the Shire spent the day with their families for Mother's day.

Next week, come join us for fighter practice on Tuesday, and dancing on Sunday at the Duluth Makerspace!
