Day Three of Winterfest continues tonight. If you weren't able to make any events last night, there was much fun that was had. Silly gifts to very useful ones were exchanged at the White Kobold Gift Exchange. A lot of candy was eaten during Cursed Cloves. Think musical chairs but with coins instead for Twinkling Trinkets. Winners of the raffles were excited as well. One even gave theirs away as a gift for someone else.

Winterfest 5115

Winterfest is over! If you weren't able to make tonight's events, you missed a bunch of people running "around" the town drunk and wearing fur caps with reindeer antlers. Darts being thrown around....at a board of course. Folks learning verbs if they didn't in a "simon says" but GemStone style twist to it. And finally a party to end it all with food, dancing, and merriment!

We at House Argent Aspis would like to thank the following:

CHE Controller, Elidi
For setting up our Props and Raffle tables throughout Icemule Trace.

Frost King and Queen Nominees
To Naimon, Queti, Skipjack, Varsric, Chaddeaux, Kayse, Loralaii, Mystiq, and Nyatherra. Your enthusiasm and eagerness showed.

Beacon Hall Archive
For putting together the "Winterfest Tales with Beacon Hall Archives" event. The stories that were shared were well thought out. I hope everyone gets a chance to read them when they are published in your library.

Helden Hall
For making us laugh when the contestants all got drunk preparing to run the "Drunk Dash". And what a great idea for the fur caps with reindeer antlers. Wish I would have gotten a pair, but I didn't participate.

House Brigatta
For showing the new folks and the oldies how creative you can be with the verbiage in Elanthia. Watching contestants "See and Do" was a delight. I picked up on a few things I didn't know myself.

House Sovyn
For making us eat so much candy. The designs of the candy and the flavors were enjoyed by all, even if you got stuck with a "Cursed Cloves" piece of candy and needed a standby empath.

Twilight Hall
For putting together the "Twilight Hall's Twinkling Trinkets" event where instead of musical chairs, you had to grab a twinkling trinket coin when the music stopped. Clever idea and the fast draws of folks came out.

The Northern Fury
For reminding us that playing "Darts" never gets old. And also that you don't have to be an expert at throwing to have a fun time.

And last but not least....

Everyone Who Attended
We can easily have events, but it's the people who come to it that make it was it is. There was laughing, crying, sportsmanship, eating, drinking, dancing, and a whole bunch more... by all who took part.


We hope to see you all again and maybe more at WINTERFEST 5116!
