What the adult does with the item after they receive it is their business.

Raffle pick-up times

Raffle item pick-up will be from 3:30-4:30pm. DOORS CLOSE AND WILL BE LOCKED AT 4:30. The jumble sale volunteers will NOT be able to retrieve items, so please attempt to pick them up within the scheduled time.

There may be an alternate pick-up time at the end of the event, 7pm, IF there are volunteers to man it as well as break down the raffle and jumble sale rooms.

As of today, I do not have enough volunteers to be able to schedule the alternate pick-up time. If you would like to sign up to be a volunteer, please email me at falcongirl -at- gmail DOT com. See sidebar to left for times available.

Thank you for participating! This will be the last post until after the event. A list of unclaimed items and winners will be posted here on Sunday.

Volunteers still very much needed. The two times that will be in heaviest need are setup and raffle hand-out.

Pen and ink drawing by Thorwolf

Actual drawing will be in the raffle around 9am. Printed placeholder will be there beforehand so people can still put tickets in.

Feast knife by Grimmond

Seax, plain.

1095 high carbon steel *not* stainless. 1/8" thick, 1" wide at widest
point, roughly 9" long overall.

Blade is a period pattern, and I have documentation on the blade shape
somewhere, will probably have to dig out the book again. Handle is
full tang, which is a departure from period practice of a skinny tang
to conserve material. Hilt is two slabs of oak, finished with linseed
oil, and secured with two copper rivets.
