King Construction of Katharine Court Commences Following Spectacular ASV Shooting Event

In the picturesque town, the second half of the annual Shooting Festival took a historic turn as a new women's group, long in the festival's shadow, made their long-awaited debut. The group came together following a necessary bylaw change by the ASV in the spring.

The first half of the festival was celebrated with nostalgia, considered a fantastic year by all. The highlight and endpoint was a parade that took place on Sunday morning, which was well-attended, with the tribune filled for the marching music and flower horn procession.

The new king, Marcel van den Berg, appointed Almut and Rene Labarlette as his minister pairs. Marcel, who scored points with the population by completing a construction project faster than a professional investor, and his queen appeared slightly tired after their respective celebrations.

Meanwhile, Bernt Lücke and his queen Astrid, known as "Power of the Night," marked their presence with Bernt scoring the decisive hit on a bird, marking his 124th shot. Queen Astrid, visibly pregnant, is expecting a "purple-born" in the near future. The significance of these terms, however, remains unclear as they don't appear to be directly related to the festival or these individuals in the provided documents.

The St. Sebastianus Brotherhood, full members for decades, were the very first ones to participate in the Shooting Festival. This year, the St. Sebastianus Brotherhood marched based on a positive declaration of intent.

Looking ahead, former queen Doris Kleinemaß and her group of shooting women are eagerly anticipating their first official appearance next year. The women remained passive this time due to the pending registration with the registry court.

Bernt II prepared a residence at the Catherine Courts for the new king, marking another significant milestone in this traditional cultural celebration involving marksmanship. The Shooting Festival continues to evolve, welcoming new participants and maintaining its rich history and traditions.
