I am Kelb Treegringer Wanderer. If I can make it to your coasts I shall try my hand in all the feats that you have listed.

(OOG I have not decided if I will PC or NPC for that event yet)

Alas I will not be participating in the challenges (I will NPC).

Well then.

I'll try my hand at Dwarven Roulette at the least.

Oh! Games! Exciting!

I will have to make a venture down that direction, even if it is just for some games. If I am able to find my way I will of course want to play all of the games, and I will do my best not to win by too much. I know I'm great and all, but I'll have to give everyone at least a small chance.

Yours Truly,
Tal-Herroth
 
Having had my sister swat my horns, I will be participating in the riddle and storytelling chapter.
 
... Hmmm, I might want to sign up for a couple of these...
 
Oh no you don't D. If we're in a drinking contest I'm bringing out the cocoa!
 
I think I will try my hand at Storytelling and maybe Dwarven Roulette.
 
I will participate in the Riddle Challenge, the Combat Tourney, and the Ribbon Race.

I shall participate in the riddle challenge, combat tourney, the archery contest, and the observation challenge.
 
Who may I speak with about participating as a vendor during the festival?
 
Registration slips will be picked up late friday evening but before midnight. This will give us plenty of time to prepare the Festival contests for the proper quantity of people.

(OOG: this will be available during Logistics Friday Night. Late shows will be able to sign up when they check in.)
 
Goodman Little, you may contact the Merchants Guild to set up being a vendor. They have been given the responsibility of managing that aspect, although one does not need to be part of the Merchants Guild in order to take part in the festival.
 
Sounds like fun. Sign me up for the riddle challenge, combat tourney, archery aim, and the observation challenge. As long as I don't need to worry about the sharp end going in the right spot, I should be all right.

This sounds truly sporting! I would be more than happy to witness and revel in the festivities. I am forbidden from participating in revelry challenges myself, but look forward to cheering on those travelers who partake.
 
Combat, storytelling, roulette.
