Artisans Row Head's Up - Novice/Challenge of the Heart

[chargirlgenius]

I don't have an official announcement written up yet, but I'll be organizing an Artisans Row for Storvik Novice Tourney/Challenge of the Heart, on the weekend of June 20th.

For those of you who don't know, Storvik and Dun Carraig are getting together to host a joint event this year, which I think is a fantastic idea. The site is Patuxent River Park in Upper Marlboro, MD, the same place where Jeff's vigil was last summer. Hopefully it won't be so hot, this time around!

I'll be putting out the call for tents and who will be setting up once things are a bit more firmed up, but I thought I'd give a head's up to all y'all on my flist to start thinking about it. In a nutshell, Artisans Row gives you an opportunity to work on your craft throughout the day, in more of an active display instead of a competition. I liked it as a chance to sit and geek with fellow artisans in a laid back atmosphere. Artisans of ALL levels are encouraged to come out and play.

More details forthcoming. Wanna come out and play?

I remember that one. Worst equestrian event evar, although my hour with you-all was wonderful. The Atlantian cavalry needs quite a bit more fiber in its diet. :) I don't appear to be booked that weekend, although if they do have equestrian, it might look like an interkingdom snub if I show up and don't ride... but this really sounds like fun. Aaaaaand I am getting a canvas pavilion, so I could use it there!

I remember that. Even beyond the awful heat... Come on down and work on horse barding or something! It's still themed... ;-)

I don't believe they are doing horses this year..

That's good news for more than one reason. It's a great site to have horses at in October - but last year in the summer, my horse was *visibly* uncomfortable from the heat and the air quality. It was just not a day on which I would have chosen to ride him at all, period. For horses, Patuxent is a "spring and fall" site, as far as I'm concerned.

I said the same at storvik Barony meeting with the Storvik Autocrat there. I WILL however encourage the autocrat of Storvik Baronial Birthday in September to organize Equestrian Activities.

Do you happen to know the prospective date? Because Sept. 25-27 already has two equestrian events stacked against each other with most of the Atlantians set on doing Glengary in WV.

(The other will be my poor, pitiful event in NJ. I think *everyone* is doing Glengary instead of NJ...)

The date I have written down is 9/12/09 BUT if it isnt spiked, thats no guarantee.

Certainly no guarantee. But not hearing "it HAS to be the last weekend of September" is a good start. Leaves them room to work around it. Yay!
