Last year after Fall Coronation I was privileged to be entertained be then Count Kelson with several entertaining stories. There was one such story that held my attention long enough for me to run it by my mistress. Who, after she stopped giggling, said yeah that would be a great idea. So, the then Count Kelson won the fall crowne tournament and is now King of the East. At this year's Midsummers event, we presented him with ''Monkeys Jousting on Minis''. It was by far one of the funniest moments I have encountered. I have posted all the pictures I have scrounged up to date and as well as the video that was taken. Many thanks to Mistress Eleanor fitzPatrick for her photos and her help with making this happen, Rob Schaeffer of Stonemarche and Caitrin McCullough for their photos, and Lord Hascouf de Moyaux for taking photos and video on my behalf. Enjoy, Kiena |
