Event details

Mimir was the Norse God of Knowledge, and he drank from an enchanted well at the base of Yggdrasil, the World-Tree, to become wise.  So let us also drink from Mimir’s Well!  Join us for an afternoon of classes and socialization, at the St.  James Episcopal Church at 4 St.  James Place in Essex Junction, VT (same site as last year).  The site is open from 1:15-7 pm.  The first class sessions begin promptly at 2 pm.  Please note that this event is on a Sunday!

The entrance fee is by donation.  Please consider that you are helping to cover the site rental fee as well as the dayboard cost.  We can only accept CASH or CHECKS (made out to SCA Inc., Mountain Freehold).  Some classes have a small materials fee, which will be collected by the teacher.  Please bring cash for that.

Erasmus will provide a Middle-Eastern dayboard in the mid-afternoon.  Offerings will include sambuseks (hand pies, meat and veggie), brown lentil soup with sausage, Turkish red lentil soup (vegan), Moroccan lamb stew, chickpea salad, couscous, hummus, flatbread, apple handpies, and “strawberries in snow.” If you plan to enjoy the dayboard, please bring your own table setting (bowl, spoon, plate, mug.)

We’ll also choose our Mountain Freehold Champion of the Arts and Sciences at this event.  The theme for the Competition is “Imperfections.” We'll also have an A&S Display, with the theme of "Thankfulness." The object can be something you made, or something you own, that you feel thankful to possess. 

New folk are very welcome!  – If you have questions about how to attend your first event, please contact our Chatelain, Lord Leo, at chatelain@mountainfreehold.eastkingdom.org
