<DIV>Greetings Artisans of Ansteorra,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Laurel's Prize is almost here! We hope many of you are making plans to join the Shire of Seawinds on Sept 13th at Choke Canyon State Park near Three Rivers as we host this grand event. The site is only 75 miles south of San Antonio off of HWY 37. </DIV>
<DIV>Site opens at 9 am.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please note that the artisan registration deadline is this Monday, the 8th. If you have not already contacted HL Lightfoot at <A href="mailto:lightfootcim@aol.com" target=_blank rel=nofollow>lightfootcim@aol.com</A> please send him your SCA name, mundane name, contact information, type of display or art and how much table space or floor space you will need. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bardics and performing artisans we have a spot for you as well!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PLEASE NOTE: </DIV>
<DIV>The lighting in the hall is not the best. If lighting is critical to your display please feel free to bring your own lights and extension cords. Electrical outlets are located only at the front of the hall near the stage area. If you will let us know you need electricity we will do our best to position you near that area. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your significant other is attending Laurel's Prize to display and wants you to attend too. But what are you going to do all day you say? Well don't worry there is something for everyone:</DIV>
