A Day to Dream

All our lives we have been fighting for honor, chivalry, duty, and glory. We have dared to dream and be something more. Now we have the possibility and privilege to fight for something more. We can fight for hope.

Saturday May 10th from 10 am to 5pm join us in the Shire of Misty Highlands as we take up arms and ally with the American Cancer Society , HealthSouth Mountainview and the Morgantown Learning Academy Fencing Club in their fight against Cancer.

Bring your pomp and pageantry as we will have opening ceremonies this year, with a small parade through the hospital to the courtyard, for the patients to enjoy. As in years past, there will be a heavy weapons tournament as a fundraiser. Entry fee for the tourney is $10 round robin format so everyone gets plenty of fighting! The fencing tournament will be held in the same manner. The prize for the heavy tourney is armor by Lord Gareth Kincaid , for fencing a sword donated by Don Valentine DePeregoy . These are really nice prizes. We will have space for thrown weapons, and plenty of opportunity for arts and sciences. Come teach, share or display your arts. A silent auction will feature the finest works of the Kingdom. Pavilions are welcome and pageantry please!

There is no feast, however HealthSouth is going to fire up the grill and have a bake sell. Feel free to bring items to contribute if you are able. I have been promised a return of the funnel cake this year. This site is bone dry.

Overnight accommodations are available at local hotels for a discounted rate, if you contact me before checking in. I recommend Euro suites, it is within walking distance of site and for a single room is $50 per night with the HealthSouth discount. To get your coupon early e-mail me with your address. There are several other reasonably priced hotels in the area as well.

Site will open for setup at 9:00 am. This is a Demo style event, where all funds raised will go to benefit the Relay for Life. There is no site fee!!! We have space for A&S displays and performers to share the day. Questions contact autocrat Lady Gwyneth McClellen via e-mail at Shelly.Dusic@healthsouth.com or call 1-800-388-2451 ext 1092.
