The event stewards of Talon Crescent Festival have asked me to send out
these updates:


Talon Crescent Festival is this weekend - please check the

for current updates for classes, demonstrations, and competitions in
Archery and Thrown Weapons. Bardic events have also been added to the Arts
& Sciences page as well as a spreadsheet with class times.

PARKING FEE UPDATE:  We've made arrangements with the city and have been
able to offer a 50% discount in parking fees for the weekend.  Please let
the people at the park gate know you are going to the Talon Crescent
event.  When you come to Gate/Troll parking passes will be available for
only $6 covering both days. Please make sure to keep it in your windshield
for Saturday and Sunday as this is how the park rangers will know you have
already paid for parking.

Saturday and Sunday. Suggested donation $5  Soda and Water will also be
available for $1 each

A&S Update:Talon Crescent Festival is this weekend, and the Arts &
Sciences are
going to ROCK! There is *so much* going on at this event! There's a full
track of brewing classes (including fruit mustards and a varietal honey
tasting), 3 kinds of dance, team-taught (Caid and Artemisia) tips on
documentation made easy, copper embossing, lucet, fiber drop-in (with
card weaving), scribal (including period pigments and a scriptorium),
the best tax-sheltered accessory of the Middle Ages (paternosters and
rosaries -- taught by "Sister Scholastica" from Artemisia), symbology in
portraits, a bead exchange, 2 bardics, Sunday morning's awesome
Artisan's Display, and much more. This in addition to the fighting
classes, including Sir Mari's Power Generation, HRM Timmur's Great Sword
techniques, rapier melees, arrow building, the thrown weapons game
Molkey and Kubb, and lots more. For more information on a specific
