Auction of Services
Greetings to the populace of Caid. Join in on the fun of being a part of the “Auction of Services”. Who
would not love to have a song serenaded to someone special on your behalf at the Festival? Who would
like to win the services of some of our fine strong warriors to help setup camp at the next war? Each of
us has special gifts and talents, put these talents to work and help raise funds for the Kingdom Travel
fund and the Pennsic Fund. If you are interested in having your services auctioned, but cannot attend
the Festival, we are also happy to accept your promissory of service auction it that day. All individuals
interested in participating, please contact . (By the way, Blase has mentioned
something about a promissory from her for a Tourney Lunch for Two)
Dreiburgen Summer Arts
Summer Arts Competition
The Barony of Dreiburgen is looking for the best of the best to be their Champion. To be that Champion
the contender needs to enter three of the four categories that are being offered this year. Each
individual is limited to one entry per competition. There will be a winner for each category; however
the Baronial Champion will be the individual with the highest total points for three categories. The
categories this year are as follows:
Bardic – this will be an oral presentation of poems, readings, or dramatizations. It does not have to be
memorized. The entries are to be by individuals, not teams. The Time allotment for each presentation
is a maximum of two minutes. (The winner of this Bardic Competition does not become the Dreiburgen
Bard. That competition is at another event.)
Costuming – Entries can be machine sewn, but the more period the better, however indicate how it
would have been done in the documentation. If using synthetic fabric, indicate in the documentation
what would have been used. Works in progress are welcome.
Cooking – All dishes must be prepared off site. No refrigeration or heating facilities are provided – bring
what you will need to keep your entry warm or cold, as necessary. The entrant must supply his or her
own containers and serving utensils. Please list all ingredients.
Arts of Combat – Entries are to reflect artwork in the form of armor, blades, sheaths, shields, bows, and
quivers. (We do not want drawings or illustrations of these items, rather the items themselves, showing
the artwork and craftsmanship utilized in the production of these items.) Live steel is welcome, but for
display only. It will not be worn or wielded.
All entries must in submitted by 10am. Judging will be based on:
Execution (60%) – Workmanship, Authenticity, Creativity and overall Presentation;

Documentation (10%) – Sources, Period attempted, Rationale, Explanation for deviations.
