From The Page (May, 1985):
The Silver Desert is pleased to announce that the Cynagua Summer Investiture will include a feast. The entire menu is not set at this time, but it will feature a variety of items, including cockatrice, grilled sausages, pies, breads, etc. We will only be able to serve about 50 people, so please plan on getting your tickets early.
A limited number of entertainers are needed and will receive a discount on the ticket for their services.
Tickets are $8.50 per person, and may be purchased from Mireille de Ferrier (contact info omitted).
From The Page (June, 1985):
Escape from the heat of summer and help celebrate the ascension of Cynagua's new prince and princess in the cool heights of Silver Desert. On July 20th and 21st, the Province of Silver Desert will host Cynagua's Twelfth Investiture at Horseman's Park. There will also be a feast and fevel that night at the park clubhouse. (For those foolish few who do not wish to partake of a most sumptuous repast prepared by Mireille de Ferrier, restaurant maps will be provided.) Come enjoy the pleasant weather and star-filled night Saturday and then stay to be educated on Sunday. Sleeping arrangements are available as well as motel listings. (Camping is not allowed in the park.) The park is DRY!! Park officials will be checking to see that the no-alcohol regulation is enforced. However, the hall is wet. If you absolutely must have alcohol during the day, please please be discreet and hide your containers very well.
For those who wish to be illuminated on the subjects of:
-- a survey of Elizabethan costuming;
-- overview of fabrics, what's good, OK, bad, and period;
-- garb help session - bring your problem garb (Ritchenda de Chalfont);
-- a beginning course in heraldry for non-heralds (or how
to use your local resources for names and devices) - Ceridwen MacAoudhegain;
-- setting up a scroll (Ambrose of Barduin);
-- building a pavilion (Siobhan ni Seaghdha);
-- headdresses (Mireille de Ferrier)
these classes will be held on Sunday at the same site as the tourney. Classes should begin
at the civilized hour of 10 am and will hopefully be concluded no later than 3:00 in the afternoon.
The field will be open for fighting and whatever martial or otherwise diversions entertained
by the populace.
