The Lloydminster Lions Club is ready to get medieval to raise money for a worthy cause.
The club’s 4th annual Medieval Feast is next Saturday, and the King’s coffer is running on fumes.
The night of medieval splendour takes place on Sept. 21 at the Kitscoty Hall. All funds raised from this year’s event will support the construction of Ronald McDonald House locations in Prince Albert and Regina.
“You come in your medieval dress, and 90 per cent of people dress up. You feel left out if you don’t dress up,” explained Lloydminster Lions Club fundraising co-chair, Shelley Tatro.
The evening features a four-course meal, which includes dessert. The menu will feature meatball souvlaki and chicken legs with attached thighs, corn on the cob, salads, roasted vegetables and a variety of breads.
In typical medieval fashion, everything is eaten with your hands.
“If you decide you want to obtain some cutlery, you can give some money to the King for his coffer. The King will also be selling salt,” said Tatro.
Upon arrival, guests will be divided into different houses. They will compete in various medieval games throughout the evening.
“There’s jousting, ring throw onto antlers, and a bow and arrow competition,” said Tatro, clarifying all games will be played with toy weapons.
“We also have a photo booth, a DJ, a fortune teller, as well as some real-time medieval reenactors to provide some entertainment,” she said.
When it comes to the Lions supporting Ronald McDonald House, Tatro couldn’t be happier with the partnership.
“When our kids get sick and must stay in hospital, where do we stay? Ronald McDonald House,” she said.
Interested in attending but unsure about your medieval attire? Tatro recommends checking out the rental selection at Artistic Dance and Costume on 50 St.
Tickets are $60 each or a table of eight for $450. Doors open at 5 p.m., cocktails at 6 p.m. and supper will be served around 6:30 p.m.
