Dancing FoxXX Door Prize!

This is our 20th anniversary year, and to commemorate it, we offer you this wonderful fox face quilt as a door prize. 144 foxes peer out at you thanking you for coming to our event! How can you get chances?

One chance will be awarded to ever person who pre-registers for the event. (See the details below on how to pre-register.)

As you troll in? One chance will be given to each person who trolls in!

One chance will go to each person who enters Brigitte's Dessert challenge!

One chance will go to each person who completes an outfit for Magnus Vulpes!

Chances will also be given out for certain activities the day of the event.

This quilt will go home with one of our lucky attendees...

DESSERT CHALLENGE

Brigitte has issued her dessert challenge! Entrants should bring a dessert (or desserts, you may enter more than once) to fit into:

Foxes: Foxes know a little about a lot of things. They are also tricksters, so entries in this category with less than authoritative documentation, and perhaps not fit into a particular period of the Middle Ages or Renaissance.

Hedgehogs: Hedgehogs know a lot about one thing. These entries will be held to a higher degree of scrutiny, and should have full documentation and come from a particular period of the Middle Ages or Renaissance.

Brigitte and her panel of judges will sample all entries, but desserts will be shared by all guests of the event! Questions may be directed to Brigitte (as listed below.)

DRESSING THE FOX:

Yes, for those who like to fabricate fancy finery, a faux fox will be provided along with fabric of all types, and you will get to design persona and garb for your furred friend and enter a fashion show at the end of the day. (You may bring your own fabric, etc.) We are asking that, should you desire for you new friend to go home with you, we hope you will make a $10 donation to help defray the cost of supplying stuffies. The winner will get a special surprise from the autocrat!

CLOTHING MAGNUS VULPES:

Follow the link to measurements of Magnus Vulpes! He has worn out all his finery, except his fur. Folks are challenged to bring him new attire. There will be an accolade for the best outfits!
