Works of the Arts & Sciences of the Mighty and Magnificent Kingdom of Gleann Abhann will be on display at this event you will not want to miss! Artisans come and show your projects and receive valuable feedback. Maybe you can teach the judges something new and interesting!

Once again we have the artisans of Gleann Abhann issuing CHALLENGES in various categories. Location:
Shire of Rook's Haven (Utica Mississippi)
