>>                MUSIC, DANCE, FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP!
>>      Come one, come all to the Scandinavian Fest in Plano
>>                        THIS SATURDAY !!
>>
>>This is the 13th anniversary festival for “The Wooden Spoon” in Plano on
>>Avenue K near 18th street. Not only is it a Scandinavian gift shop, but
>>they are the central location for many Scandinavian organizations around
>>the metroplex – i.e., Sons of Norway, Vasa (a Swedish organization), etc.
>>–
>>and  they even have language classes (Norse, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and
>>German) and meeting rooms!!  This is an EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY for us to
>>promote the SCA in our area!!  (and I can’t wait to browse around the shop
>>[grin] especially since they have Swedish woven linen there!).
>>
>>The owner says that she would like “costume-clad” members of the SCA to
>>walk around and look pretty at her Festival.  She is familiar with the SCA
>>and wants to help us promote our “club.”  So, please come out and help us
>>promote the SCA in our area!  We will have tables set up under a pavillion
>>for A&S displays, promotions and crafts demonstrations (weavers?
>>leathercrafers?).  We are in need of more armored fighters, as well as
>>marshalls to explain the fighting.  Bring banners, flags, shields,
>>anything
>>colorful!!  We really want to be colorful and flamboyant here!  She is
>>setting us up in the most visible spot out front!
>>
>>If you are a Scandinavian persona and/or have Viking garb already, by all
>>means, please wear it!  The owner never specified that she wanted just
>>Vikings or Scandinavian persona, so just come in garb, walk around and
>>have
>>fun.  If you are a fighter, this could be a pre-Sunday fighter practice.
>>He who will fight a Saxon Fraybrother, pray, answer the call!  If you are
>>an artisan, please come display your wares and/or demonstrate your craft.
>>MERCHANTS ARE WELCOME TO SELL THEIR WARES!!  I just spoke with the owner
>>and she says that she doesn’t mind us merchanting at the festival.
>>
>>Please contact me and let me know if you are interested in coming so I
>>will
>>have an idea as to how many of us will be in attendance.  The Festival
>>runs
>>from 10 am until 6 pm, this Saturday, September 8th.  Even if you can just
>>come and stay for a couple of hours, please let me know.  If you plan to
>>attend, please let me know what part of the day (morning/early
>>afternoon/late afternoon) you intend to arrive and how long you can stay.
>>Also, please let me know ASAP as the event is upon us!!  Email or call me
>>at 972-466-2276.
>>
>>The directions are easy:  Take I-75 north to Plano, exit at Park.
>>Immediately get into your right lane on the service road.  Turn right at
>>the Lazy Boy sign (18th street), go up to Avenue K and take a right.  The
>>“Wooden Spoon” is the 2nd house on the right with flags out front.
>>Festival parking is across the street in the Municipal Center parking lot.
