The Winterfest 2011 list of entertainments, booths, ice huts, artisan crafts, food, drink and fun finds its way into your grasp. Much like the Beltane pamphlet handed out earlier this year in May, it begins appearing all about Rhydin in halls, at corners, in newsstands, carried by smudge faced, roughly clothed boys and girls grinning happily and wearing new winter hats, gloves or mitts—or found by some other means— and is the printed pamphlet with hand drawn map of all of this years sights, smells, sounds and tastes to be found in the booths, on ice, on ice-stage and as entertainment at the Southern Glen during the Winterfest celebration.
Once again, neat, black font contrasts nicely on a wide, thick piece of paper, you might unfold it three times to see what it holds. Perhaps you note with delight the rough-hewn paper is hand pressed with bits and pieces of winter-recycled paper, embossed with the texture of snowflakes, though perhaps you don't either—maybe you put it away for later, maybe you aren't even interested.
Depending on whether or not it catches your eye, you begin to read the list of merry-making mischief, which amazingly seems to be enchanted to be readable to many written languages:
______________________________________ OOC
Q: What is this thread for" This thread, (and please forgive me for mirroring the beltane one, but I thought it worked, so I decided to continue doing what worked) is for players to reply with their characters Wintefest booth/Business/Showcase talent/skill addition to Winterfest in the Southern Glen. Images, written descriptions, or both of their contributions to Winterfest booths/Entertainment/Igloos/Ice fishing hut are welcome!
Q: Whyyyyy so early' :O Because last event I felt like I rushed everyone, this year I want to give everyone plenty of time to get their ideas going and get lots of chances to get them posted! And because I may be as excited about this as a two year old is staring at all the gifts wrapped under a tree. Maybe.
Q: Does it have to be a booth" Absolutely not! You can have a mini log cabin, a tent, a structure made of ice, hay—whatever your hearts and creativity come up with—you don't even have to have one! Maybe you've got a dance troupe that wanders the 'Fest or are a wandering bard.
Q: I can't make it to one night of the Winterfest/Two/Any of the nights. How can I still participate" You can still participate by NPC'ing your Winterfest booths (in this thread!), just make sure to note if it's NPC'ed so your fellow players reading and maybe interracting with the booth during Winterfest don't make a boo-boo :D
And eventually, you may role play directly within the Winterfest settings threads, which I hope to have up in early December for each main event.
Q: I want to donate food, items or something else, but I want to do it anonymously. How can I do that" Just write me a PM with a description of whatever you want to add or donate anonymously and I'll try and post it A.S.A.P!
Q: I have a question not answered here. Please feel free to PM RDI Risa at any time, send me an email at RisaJones@aol.com, or send me an instant message via AOL/AIM to RisaJones. Thank you! Now go on, make this Winterfest an event that makes memories to last a character's life time!
