Editor:

Good day to all of the Lords and Ladies of the North Coast Journal. As founder of the Excalibur Medieval Tournament and Market Faire I send words of praise and gratitude for your coverage of our event. And many thanks to Jennifer Fumiko Cahill for the wonderful Sept. 26 article "Going Medieval" and her blog post as well.

The Faire was full and happy on our sunny Saturday and even those brave souls that came out on Sunday had a wonderful if wet time at Arcata's Mad River Hospital Field. Although the rain may have dampened our cloaks it certainly didn't dampen the spirits of those who braved our Humboldt County liquid sunshine. The Knights of the American Jousting Alliance even put one a special display of their horsemanship by skiing across the mud behind one their trusty steeds. You can see a picture on the Journal's blog.

Thanks again to the North Coast Journal for your coverage of local events.

Mary Dorman, Arcata
