Potluck at the Castle
What: A Fund Raiser for Loveland Castle
When: Saturday, Nov. 15th, from 5 p.m. until 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 16th
Where: Loveland Castle, Chateau La Roche in Loveland, Ohio
The latest details and directions are here http://www.sturmphoto.com/potluck/
Why: Raise money to help keep Loveland Castle alive.
http://www.lovelandcastle.com/
To that end we have arranged for an evening at Loveland Castle. Good music, good food, fine drinks and award-winning entertainers: Jack Salt, The Pickled Brothers Side Show, and Minstrel Woode.
All ticket sale proceeds ($15 at the gate) go directly to Loveland Castle and the Knights of the Golden Trail.
The tantalizing smell of potluck stew will beckon you to join the warmth of old and new friends around the large outdoor firepit. You will be entertained by award-winning professional musicians and showmen. We will be able to drum until 1:00 in the morning so bring your drums and dancing shoes!
Everyone is invited to spend the night in the castle or on the grounds.
(see 'Crash Space' for details)
This is a garb friendly event. (though not necessary)
Potluck: This is not your modern office party type potluck where you sign up to bring a dish and everything is arranged. This is the ancient communal method with everyone contributing and sharing in the meal!
We start with an outdoor firepit on the banks of a river, in the shadows of Loveland Castle and the light of the moon.
"The Giant Blessed +10 Cauldron of True Potluck" is brought forth and hung over the blazing firepit.
The recipe is simple: Sear the meats, toss in vegetables and spices, add enough liquids to allow a bubble.
Simmer for hours, occasionally stirring with the "Great Stewing Oar of 'Not Burning the Cook'".
The final result is a dinner fit for a King, large enough to feed an army... Or an army of Kings...
We ask you bring:
A merry mood!
A bit of food that you would like to see in our stew.
You may bring anything, hence the name "potluck", each stew is different but every stew is wonderful. From sausage to venison, from beef to pepperoni, any meat is good. Any and all vegetables give it body.
Bringing the food earlier is better because the longer the food can cook together, the deeper the flavor of the stew. But don't worry about arriving late with food. We can always speed cook and add any additions as needed.
OR bring something for noshing, and/or bring something for breakfast.
Drink:
There will be at least one home brewer sharing his craft.
A local winery has generously donated a couple of cases of Wine and Mead for us to sample.
Despite the contributions, this is a 'Bring Your Own Drink' event. Bring enough of your favorite beverage for yourself and a bit for sharing.
Be Merry:
We are bringing in
Jack Salt, http://www.myspace.com/jacksaltandthewaisters
Minstrel Woode http://www.minstrelwoode.com/main_page.php
The Pickled Brothers Side Show http://www.pickledbrothers.com/
Crash Space:
Speaking of drinking and not driving...we encourage you to spend the night with us in the castle.
Bring your bedroll, air mattress or cot because sleeping space is on the floor. The Castle floor is made primarily of stone
It is not fancy but it is dry. There is also lovely garden space for your tent.
We ask that everyone vacate the castle and castle grounds by 10 a.m.
Sunday.
Everyone is invited to loiter at the picnic area longer but the Castle needs to be ready for tours and 'Business as Usual' at its normal opening time.
If you have further questions, or are interested in performing at the Castle fund raiser, please contact Jonathan Lancaster at (502) 640-7977.
