Fiber, Fabric & Fighting VII November 20th - 22nd, 2009 The Shire of Nithgaard is proud to announce that we will be hosting this event for the 7th consecutive year! The weekend will feature classes taught by teachers from various Kingdoms, with a focus toward the textile arts. For those less inclined to a love of string, do not despair!... we will also play host to martial activities, a browsing library, an A&S display, and a silent auction! This year there will be no formal feast, but we will be serving a simple hot dinner on Saturday evening. Saturday the 21st will be a day of classes and workshops devoted to fabric, string, and their glorious arts. Saturday will also see an A&S display by our talented artisans! This is not a competition, and we encourage participation from all skill levels, and from all arts! Your display does not have to be related to string, nor must it be complete to be entered. Bring your newest creation, or your finally finished works, all are welcome! We invite all attending to bring relevant books from their personal libraries to contribute to an event reference library. The library will be staffed, and books will not leave the library area. We also welcome donations to our silent auction, which will be used to help defray travel costs for out-of-kingdom teachers. The adult weekend fee of $15 ($8 for those under 18) includes a light meal on Friday evening, breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. The adult day fee of $8 ($5 for those under 18) includes breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Dinner will be an additional $5 ($4 for those under 18, free for those under 5). A $3 non-member surcharge will be collected from those over 18 with no proof of SCA membership. Limited bunk space is available onsite for those staying the weekend. The site will again be the Sieg Conference Center located on Narrows Road in Lamar, PA (no street address). The site opens at 2PM on Friday, and closes at noon on Sunday. 48 bunk spaces are available, in two 24-bed dormitory rooms. All guests will need to provide their own bedding, but mattresses are provided by the site. Please note, these are BUNK BEDS. There is a hotel within a few miles, and this is not a Penn State football weekend. Parking is extremely limited at the Sieg Center. There is no room for oversize vehicles, and we urge everyone to carpool as much as possible.
