Hail, good gentles all, and pray heed these words! The time has come once again to join together
in revelry and merriment at this year’s Middle East Feast. Join Their Excellencies Bran and Deletha as
they celebrate this renowned event full of shopping, dancing, music, and food! Come, tantalize your senses with the scents and
flavors of expertly prepared delicacies from afar. Let your body move to the beat of the drums,
lose yourself in the sights and sounds of merchants peddling their wares. Relax with your friends from near and far,
share stories, make new acquaintances!
Delight in a wonderful meal, consisting of assorted fresh
fruit, hummus and pita, Moroccan Lentil Soup, Chelo (Persian basmati rice), two
squash roasted garlic couscous, lentil salad, lemon rosewater chicken, and
baklava. All the recipes for this feast
have been graciously provided by Dona Maestra Angela Sara Maria Diaz de
Valdes. Feast space is limited, and
available through ACCEPS only. Turkish
coffee will be available, and donations are requested to help offset the cost
of this favored beverage.
As is the tradition for this unique event, bring out your
carpets and pillows to make your time lounging about more comfortable and more
festive. Please do not bring large
items, as the hall will not accommodate larger items well.
Shopping will abound in the foyer, with many fine items
available for purchase. This year we are
pleased to again offer on site henna application as well! A silent auction will also be held, to
benefit the general fund of the Barony. For
those who wish, hookah smoking will be allowed on the patio. A cash bar will be available in the foyer,
and the hotel also has a restaurant with American cuisine available for those
who do not favor Middle Eastern cuisine.
