There are two events definitely worth hitting in the Kingdom of the West this weekend. So take your pick or make it to both if you can. I myself am planning to attend the Japanese MidSummer Feast!

August 18
DeBardchery
This event, located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park at 47th and Fulton, includes a contest to become the new bard of Cloondara, an archer’s auction and a potluck picnic. The site opens at 10 a.m. and closes at dusk.

Japanese MidSummer Feast
This event, located in Manteca’s Senior Center, is a celebration of Tanaba, the Japanese wishing star festival. The event includes heavy and rapier tournaments, a boffer tournament, Japanese A&S lessons, a Kyogen puppet play. Bring your own bowls, plates and chopsticks. The sites opens at 9:30 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m.

Pennsic War is sponsoring a blood drive in honor of those who put their lives on the line making real war in defense of freedom. The 5th annual Pennsic blood drive will take place on Friday, August 3 and Monday, August 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Zion Baptist Church in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.

The church is within walking distance of the Pennsic site, however a shuttle van will run between the church and the south end of the battlefield. The church will also be added to the Pennsic bus route n the 3rd and 6th.

The church is located at 148 Curry Road, Slippery Rock, PA. For more information Baroness Angelique d’Herisson at scahedgehog@verizon.net.
