As reported by the court historian -- The County of Mid-Pacific opened its gates Friday morning under fair skies and gentle winds. Robin Hood and the merry HUGSS and KKIDS greeted the lords, ladies, knights in shining armor, and townsfolk from nearby counties as they streamed into Mid-Pacific proper. The festivities began mid-morning when citizens shared their inquiry findings with esteemed elders. His Majesty King Bruce I welcomed the barons and ladies who sat beside him at the head table and invited all good citizens to dine in the Great Hall. Knights, peasants, and damsels feasted on cheese, fruits, breads, and roasted chicken and drank deeply from goblets filled with sparkling wine. The merriment continued in the courtyard where citizens were entertained by honorable knights from lands near and far.
