Keep it Loki Weekend kept to its’ word with all the festivities being more about our Heirs of Asgard community rather than the jam paced adventures we are all used to. And the Sherwood Forest Faire didn’t disappoint a soul (unless you had flooded tents on that fateful Saturday after faire). But the weekend we centered around three main things: a beautiful pig roast, a make your own “Loki” Divine tasting competition and friendship among old and new faces and clans that all represented the same core values of safe fun, outrageous adventures and the true meaning of brotherhood. The Sherwood Forest Faire was a first for me with its winding trails that I would have absolutely lost myself in, if it hadn’t been for both Adam and Jenn Treadway. The fairgrounds were hillier but was a more intimate setting that was refreshing from the normal commercialism. There was an amazing archery tournament that our own captain, Adam Treadway, competed in that was a sight to behold. It did happen to rain Saturday and flood a few people’s tents, but Asgardians were more than accommodating to those who were in need, and during the course of the night we were able to taste the pig roast that was covered in bacon and barbecue sauce that was delightful as well as have our first make your own “Loki” competition where you made your very own concoction and we to be judged by some of our newer members of HOA. There were ten entries and we even needed a tie breaker who happened to be our lovely council member Laura Golden, who was able to make the final call. Our top three winners were Jenn Treadway with her honey melon potion, Adam Treadway with a cucumber basil that was sipping on a warm spring day, and finally Peter Pinard with his intoxicating batch of horchata, tasting so sweet you couldn’t tell it was 140 proof. HOA did go to different clan areas and the only word to describe this moment and feeling to me was merriment. I was so happy to be co raid leader with Laura and Joe and it meant everything to me. Sherwood is becoming a wonderful new tradition for this group.
Forever a servant for this group,
