Hello all,

Thanks for coming out to the first ever Faire of the North last weekend! I was happy to see new and familiar faces alike enjoying each other's company in a whimsical environment. That is exactly what we had hoped for.

I'm currently traveling so I haven't been able to post this as quickly as I would have liked, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due and share some stats and other info about the festival.

Thanks
Many thanks to the following former officers of White Haven who originally conceived of the idea of an Icemule festival and ensured the idea was passed down:

Abrimel Faulkil Niaja Nicolao

Countless thanks to the current CHE/MHO officers and town council members who conceptualized the faire, helped with item requests and area design, and ran events:

Dirvy Enestrie Grutak Jalodg Jastalyn Kittai Kobane Laelithonel Neopuron Olgretien Tawariell

Special thanks to two GameHosts for their involvement:

Auttaja Sirilida

And, as always, it wouldn't have been possible without approvals, QC, merchanting, and assistance with behind-the-scenes tasks from my colleagues:

Annanasi Avaluka Coase Elidi Elysani Flannihan Galene Isten Kaikala Liia Mariath Mazreth Mikos Naiken Naionna Quilic Palvella Sotsona Tamuz Tivvy Vanah Wraex Wyrom Xayle and some others who helped make sure Dragon Bones still worked

Tremendous thanks again!

Playershop and premium home facade merchant
As some of you noticed, this merchant was unable to come as planned due to an unexpected conflict. We will get a calendared event posted when it is able to be rescheduled.

Sweater bug
If you purchased one of the following sweaters from Brrr Necessities, it is cape-worn when it should be torso-worn. (It should also be locked open, otherwise it's kind of weird.) You can ASSIST and point to this post for a fix when staff responds. Thanks to Naamit for catching it.
a dark red woolen sweater stitched with a giant snowflake
a green and red plaid cable knit sweater
a soft white sweater knitted in a penguin feather pattern
a gaudy purple and yellow houndstooth sweater
a fuzzy green sweater patterned with chubby polar bears

That's it from me. See you again another year! When I return from my trip, we'll conclude the Daukhera storyline, so I'm looking forward to that and I hope you are, too.
