St. Augustine's Fair 2017 - "It's all about the horses."
August 18-20th
Kaie was concerned because it's immediately before Cattle Raids. But we decide we can still have the horse theme even if the Calontir equestrians aren't sure they want to make it an official Regional Equestrian event.
Potential Kingdom Event:
Crown Tourney (aim for October 2018) in the new building? vs. in the Caged Fighting. Inn, Feast, Youth activities. Gida willing to autocrat. Might need to be careful that the Fairgrounds hasn't started storing RVs yet.
Queen's Prize (September)? Osage?
