[Artemisia] Bronzehelm Schola update

[JACQUELINE ZIEGLER]

Greetings!

First, I am thrilled to announce that there will be three full tracks of 
classes on September 30th at the Schola in Bronzehelm. Site opens at 11:00 am 
and classes start at 12:30 pm. Feast and Court will be scheduled at the 
pleasure of Their Majesties, and if time allows we will try for some dancing 
afterwards, with site closing at 11:00 pm.

Second, here are directions to the site:

 From the West on Interstate 90:

Take Exit 452 - Metra exit. The road at the top of the exit is Old Hardin 
Road. Turn left and cross over the Interstate. You will follow the road and 
cross over the Yellowstone River. After the first entrance to the Fairgrounds, 
get to the right and stay in the right hand lane. At the T intersection, go to 
the Right, heading for Roundup. This is Main Street. Get in the middle lane 
when you can, and follow the road around MetraPark into the Heights. *  Stay 
on Main for 2.3 miles, until you reach a major intersection with two dedicated 
left turn lanes. The road is Wicks Lane, and WalMart is to the far right after 
the intersection, with a Cenex immediately to the right at the intersection. 
Turn left and get into the left lane. After the next light, which is Lake Elmo 
Drive, there will be a church with a large parking lot on the left. This is 
the Hope Methodist Church. There will be signs.

 From the North, coming down from Broadview and Lavina and past the Airport, 
do not take the City Center exit at the Airport entrance. Go straight (watch 
for that intersection - it is a 3 Way stop) and head down into the Heights. At 
the intersection with Main Street, take a Left and follow the above directions 
from *. Your distance to Wicks Lane will be about 2.2 miles.

Third, please don't forget that we are asking for paid reservations for feast 
by September 15th. Checks should be made payable to 'Shire of Bronzehelm, SCA 
Inc.' and sent to

Karen Ostrowski, 2832 Oakland Dr, Billings, MT 59102

Feast fee is $5, children under 10 are half price, and there is a cap on feast 
of 60.

We expect at least a couple of merchants, and there will also be a Silent 
Auction to benefit the Kingdom Travel Fund. At this time, I am trying to 
ensure some children's activities during part of the afternoon. This will not 
be a babysitting service, and any volunteers or suggestions are more than 
welcome.

And, finally, at the request of HM Timmur, there will be rapier as well as 
hard suit martial activities outside the hall. There is a very large open area 
just outside the church - baseball field size - that is very suitable for all 
sorts of fighting activities.

Thank you for your kind attention.
