Come out to Sing for Your Supper!

A non-competitive participation bardic evening and potluck feast. Bring a potluck dish and a performance of something bardic – a song, a joke, a story, a magic trick, a puppet show, some juggling, or what you will! Or, if you prefer not to perform, you can ransom yourself from the stage for a modest fee. And if your friends prefer that you not perform, let them cough up the fee!
