Greetings all, 

    The Canton of Sudentorre has been invited to participate in Stafford County's Discovery Days Festival (www.DiscoveryDaysFest.com) that celebrates the 400th anniversary of the settling of Jamestown. The Godspeed will be sailing on the Potamac River and laying anchor off of Aquia Landing beach and park, in Stafford Co (just north of Fredericksburg, VA). 

    We will have a small encampment portraying what life was like between 1600 -1610. We will have a tent set up like the interior of a middle class home, inhabited by us doing things of that time (blackwork, box loom, workbench...). We will have a tent for classes/hands on demonstrations for the festival goers. We will have a tent for dress up, games, and getting pictures taken. We will be dancing, playing music, juggling, and such.

    If any of your peoples would be interested in joining us in portraying how life was in the times of Elizabeth I and James I, they are welcome to join us. Dates for the Festival are Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20th, 10am - 8pm, open to the public. Setup is friday morning, Aug 18, and "VIP" opening and preformances are that friday afternoon 2 pm-7pm. The ship actually lays anchor thursday night or friday am.  The site is Aquia Landing (not the subdivision, Aquia Harbour). It is located off I 95. Exit at the Stafford Courthouse exit, and go east, crossing Rt 1 at Stafford Courthouse. This is Courthouse Rd. You will be following signs for the VRE (Virginia Rail Express) commuter train station. Courthouse Rd has a sharp turn right and the road changes to Andrew Chapel Rd. Pass Brooke Fire and Rescue station, go under a RR bridge and turn right onto Brooke Rd. Take the next Right into the VRE  parking lot. The site has VERY limited parking, so they have arrange suttle buses from the parking lot to the site every 15 minutes. We have crash spaces available. Folks interested can contact me at cell phone (540) 809-6404. I will be at pennsic (at the Stierbach encampment) from Wednesday 9th,to wednesday 16th, so I will be a bit out of touch, but will get back to folks when I can.

Dreaming--
Lady Blitha of Wolfhou
Canton of Sudentorre
