Event details
Mimir was the Norse God of Knowledge, and he drank from an enchanted well at the base of Yggdrasil, the World-Tree, to become wise. So let us also drink from Mimir’s Well! Join us on Sunday, Feb. 22, for an afternoon of classes and socialization, at the St. James Episcopal Church at 4 St. James Place in Essex Junction, VT (same site as last year). The hall is open from 1:15-7 pm. The first class sessions begin promptly at 2 pm. Please note that this event is on a Sunday.
The entrance fee is by donation. Please consider that you are helping to cover the site rental fee as well as the dayboard cost. We can only accept CASH or CHECKS (made out to SCA Inc., Mountain Freehold). Some classes have a small materials fee, which will be collected by the teacher. Please bring cash for that.
We'll provide a dayboard in the mid-afternoon. If you plan to enjoy the dayboard, please bring your own table setting (bowl, spoon, plate, mug.)
We’ll also choose our Mountain Freehold Champion of the Arts and Sciences at this event. The theme for the Competition is “Tools of the Trade.” We'll also have an A&S Display, so bring your best work to show off.
New folk are very welcome! – If you have questions about how to attend your first event, please contact our Chatelain, Lord Nickolai, at chatelain@mountainfreehold.eastkingdom.org.
