<p class="MsoPlainText">Come one, come all!<span style="">

anniversary!<span style=""> </span>We’ll have Prize Tourneys

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p>What is Artisan’s Row, you ask?<span
style=""> </span>Well, it is the usual A&S display, but
with a twist.<span style=""> </span>It is also intended to
provide an opportunity for attendees to display any SCA-appropriate
items they
wish to sell.<span style=""> </span>Due to university rules,
any actual sales must take place privately off-site or after the event,
but
this is a good way to interest potential buyers.<span style=""> </span>Those
wishing to participate in Artisan’s Row
should contact the autocrat in advance to request space.<span style="">
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><b>Site Fee:</b><span style=""> </span>No
fee,
but donations are most welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>FOOD</b>:<span style=""> </span>Due to
university rules, event coordinators may not provide food for attendees
– so no
official feast is planned and we're not allowed to officially organize
a potluck.<span style=""> </span>However, it
is perfectly acceptable for attendees to bring food to share in a
potluck-type
fashion, if they like. So instead, we're having a great big picnic
Bring enough for yourself, and if you can/want, bring some to share.<span
style=""> </span>Plenty of space and tables will
be made available for this at the event.<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>Things to Bring:</b><span style="">
</span>Tables and chairs will be available indoors, but you should
bring your
own or blankets to sit on for the outdoor portion of event, and of
course, your
own feast gear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>Directions:</b><span style=""> </span>Take
your best route to Hwy 1 North of the Hwy 17 & Hwy 1 junction.<span
style=""> </span>Upon entering Santa Cruz, turn onto Mission
Street. Turn right onto Bay Avenue, then left onto High Street.<span
style=""> </span>Turn right onto Heller Drive (UCSC’s west
entrance).<span style=""> </span>Follow the SCA signs that
will be posted on or near each stop sign until you reach Porter College
Dining
Hall.<br>
