Here's some commentary on Ducal Prize this year:
Weather -- hot and humid, but better than last year.
Thanks to the fighters who came out and competed and to the sponsors/Patrons who
purchased their services. Thanks also to those who competed in the games.
A&S competitions, silliness and the auctions.
All of the sub-autocrats will undoubtedly have people
to thank, but I want to thank a couple of people specifically who came to the rescue
of the autocrat team on Monday. Aidan, Andre (mundane) from House RoseThorn, and
two people from Malachaias' crew (whom I know, but whose names have eluded me).
They spent several hours helping move garbage from next to the dumpster to other
dumpsters in the park in order to comply with a request from the City of Marysville.
I also want to thank those who helped with the Auction
process, especially Graf Garick (Alvra) von Koepke, Falan Silverhawk, Louis Phillipe
from the Outlands, Meg, Connor, Siobhan, Hilary of Serendip, Kiera and Eliza (our Vannas)
and the forgiving people at the Money Table.
Attendance was in the 500-600 range (plus kids) and the
event grossed over $19,000. After expenses (not yet totalled) that's more than
$15K to the capital fund.
