It is also worth mentioning that the Dealer's area is free to the public. IF you wish to attend the workshops it is $100 for the weekend, or $35 per day. Also there will be two masquerades, Sci-Fi/Fantasy Saturday at 8PM, and Historical Sunday at 8PM. They are $6 addmission each, or $10 for both. If you purchase a weekend membership or day membership, the masquerade is included in the price.

Oddly enough the Saturday 1PM-2:15PM panel has "Tell us about the SCA" as one of it's discussion topics.
