May 6, 2024

Oyez! Oyez! Fabric Wars is soon to be upon us. We have decided upon a theme this year of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You are welcome to dress up as any part of the Shakespearian play that is set in Athens. Bring out your Elizabethan/late period, Greek and/or fairy court garb. 

Fabric Wars is a way for you to sign up to get rid of your extra fabric or any other SCA related items that you don’t want. Tables are limited. Bartering, trades, and haggling all encourage, but most people also accept cold, hard cash! Fabric Wars will include the normal activities, but also bring on some new ones. 

Baldric and Hurrem, Crown of Atenveldt, wish to consult with their peerage circles: Order of Pelican and Order of Laurel will have circles at Fabric War.
