🎭 A Briefing of Merriments Most Fine

Aye, we’ve melodies to raise thy spirits. Crave family merriment? ‘Tis freely given — on the arm. From painted scrolls to games of sack-toss, birthday bashes to songs of tavern fame — I know a minstrel for every name.
Thou thinketh last week was flush with delight? Prithee, forget it. That was but the whisper. This weekend bringeth forth an Off-the-Books Spectacle — fully local, scarcely traveled, and perchance most lawful (one may hope).
