time!

*What Am I Seeing? (A Beginner’s Guide to Tournaments) *– The way

SCA, but this class will help take away some of the mystery and explain how
things work.

Creative Anachronisms and what to expect at your first event. This class is
an introduction to our hobby and made to help newcomers understand what
goes on at events and how they can participate and have fun!

*Performing Poetry* – Poetry is very much a courtly art which carries a
particular set of decorum that can be lost in many of the other bardic
arts. This class will hopefully teach you how the performance of poetry
differs from the other performing arts and how you can relate those other
arts to the performance of poetry.

*1pm*

embroidery and includes some hands on practice. Each participant should

with embroidery

and will stop just before adding the yeast to cause fermentation.

*The History of the Sacred Stone* – With next Labor Day representing the
Barony of the Sacred Stone's 30th anniversary as a barony, this is a
wonderful time to review a bit of our history. Since its creation on
September 6, 1982, the Barony of the Sacred Stone has enjoyed a rich and
exciting history.

*3pm*

part of medieval life. In this class, one of our Kingdom’s foremost
storytelling laurels will go over the basics of storytelling and the
Arthurian myths.
