Compete for MileHiCon Fictional Guest of Honor and Win House Points!

Prof. Aberfoyle — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 19:16:28 +0000

As part of our partnership with MileHiCon 39 for Tales from Avistrum: Kings and Pawns, we would like to encourage our students to participate in the MileHiCon Fictional Guest of Honor campaign! We ourselves, the Faculty and Staff of Avistrum, are the reigning three-time champions of this award, but it is time to pass the torch. We will allow campaigning within the school before and after classes, and even better, we will award House Points for each participating campaign! All proceeds from the competition go to benefit the Literacy Fund.

One House Point will be awarded for every dollar raised by your campaign, and the winning campaign will earn an extra 50 points for your house! Team entries are encouraged. If your team includes students from multiple houses, the points will be split evenly amongst your team members. To be eligible to earn points for the contest, however, you must be registered for the Fall term!

Tales from Avistrum: Kings and Pawns at MileHiCon 39

The third chapter in the Tales from Avistrum saga comes to MileHiCon 39! The show will run October 26-28, 2007, at the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center.

Have you ever wanted to be a student at a school of magic Harry Potter? Avistrum Academy of Sorcery is the premier American school of witchcraft and wizardry. Our once-a-year event is the only weekend of its kind anywhere!

Students will participate in 6 classes, including Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Muggle Studies, Practical Magics, and more. New students will be sorted by the Great Eagle of Avistrum on Friday evening, and join their classmates and the faculty for a dessert feast. Classes begin Saturday and continue through Sunday. Play to represent your house in the Quidditch Cup. Saturday evening, the school is transformed for the Dark Wizard’s Ball. At each event, you can earn (or lose) points for your house, and help to win the House Cup!

Like Hogwarts, Avistrum faces constant threat. The dark witch Persephone, an unrivaled metamorphmagus, continues to try to infiltrate and take control of the school for her nefarious purposes. The Council of the Wise is contemplating making it illegal to teach Transfiguration to try to stop her. Hemmed in from all sides, Headmaster Clark Dowling and the brave faculty must attempt a desperate gambit to stop Persephone. They need your help!

Admission includes a full-weekend membership to MileHiCon 39. Children 11 and under must be accompanied at all times by a paid adult. Children 16 and under must have a parent present at MileHiCon.

The Hyatt Regency DTC is at 7800 E. Tufts Ave., Denver, CO (DTC (Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, MapQuest). Check the hotel information on the MileHiCon website for hotel rates.
