[MR] Holiday Faire Update

[Laurie]

In 20 more days, Stierbach's annual Shopping event will begin.  We have merchants coming from Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio.  And I am still getting merchants registration forms! 

I have some of your favorites returning again this year like Tasteful Treasures, Blackwood Jewellery, Fabric Dragon, Big Bob's Little Knife Shop, Gregge the Archer, The Merlion's Tail (mka Sewing Central), The Spanish Peacock, Taylor Made Garments, and Barbarians and Babes.  This is not a complete list of returning merchants-I have more!  

We also have new merchants coming:  Brute Force Leather, Silver Wolf Productions, Dopey Dragon Dry Goods, Caledonia Pottery, Buckston Maddermarket, Greybarr Traditional Archery and Lions Keep Emporium.  Again, not a complete list of merchants.  

As we get closer to Holiday Faire, I will continue to post more lists of merchants.  

If you are a Merchant, I still have space available.  Download a registration form and send it in.  http://www.stierbach.org/main.html.  

Mark your calendar's, make that 12th night gift list and ask yourself, where else are you going to get those hard to find gifts for the holidays?  Lunch will also be available for a small fee, so you won't have to pack your feast baskets, prepare a noonday meal, and take up valueable transportation space (your gonna need that space for all your treasures you will find at Holiday Faire.)  

And if your looking for a little something outside of shopping all day, well, how about Martial Activities?  There will be heavy and rapier fighting indoors and outdoor target archery.  Note:  The traditional Lochmere Arrow Shoot will be held at Holiday Faire. For more information contact Earl Mika Longbow at earlmika at aol.com.
 

This year we are in two buildings increasing the numbers of available merchant spaces.  Merchants need to pre-register. Sign-up forms are available at http://www.stierbach.org/main.html.  The only reservation is a paid one.
