<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="line-height:115%">A competition for Viking themed Arts and
Sciences! Know a craft that has been around since the age of the Danes? Made
something in the style of something pillaged during the Viking raids? Sewn
something that would adorned either side of the raids? Bring it to Holiday
Faire! This year's theme is A Viking We Will Go! Anything from 790 A.D. up to
and including 1066 A.D. from either the cultures that went a viking or the
cultures that were pillaged will be accepted. Documentation is important, even
if it is only an EZ-doc (however, the better your documentation, the better
your points in that category!). Show us what you know -and- what you can do! </span><span lang="EN" style="line-height:115%"><span></span></span></p>

entry does not have to be historically accurate…this is just historically
inspired. Documentation is not required, but I’d love to see an image of the
work that inspired you. This is a judge’s choice competition. There won’t be
any judging forms. So create something fun and inspiring. The prize is a sewing
box of sewing tools.</span><span lang="EN" style="line-height:115%"><span></span></span></p>
