Pagus Sancti Geronimi Anniversary
Celebration and Tourney
March 6, 2005
Pagus Sancti Geronimi invites one and all to come and join us as we celebrate
our anniversary on March 6, 2005.
Our own St. Geronimus was so plagued by his afflictions of the nose, he did
remove the offending member. On this, his day, we recognize his sacrifice and
attempt to do him honor with games and contests devoted to the nose! We
challenge all of the populace to enter our arts and science competition and
help solve his nose woes by designing a faux nose. Any medium, any materials
may be used; imagination only required. We will also have a children's art
coloring contest, on site, in honor the Their Excellencies Malcolm and Robynne;
a "pin the nose on the saint" game; and a "common scents"
contest.
In addition to the games and contests planned for all ages in the spirit of
our renowned patron, we will call on tradition and hold a best miracle contest.
It is said that those that pray to St. Geronimus for a miracle will have it
granted - only with an unfortunate twist. We encourage you to tell your true
story of a miracle gone awry to Baron Malcolm Alberic. We also invite all to
compete in our best relic of St. Geronimus, which will be added to the saint's
reliquary for display at future anniversaries. Documentation is required,
please.
As it this weren't enough fun, we will be holding our traditional tissue and
carrot melees. Fighting will be round robin for the rapiers and double
elimination for the heavies. A raffle will be held in lieu of a helm
auction.
The event will be held at Hunt Park: 4015 Jackson St.; Riverside, CA 92504.
So, come on out and bring with you your weapons, your faux nose project, your
miracle story, a relic or just yourself to join in on the fun!
