Market Day Fashion Show!

Our “Current Middle Ages” include a variety of times and places!  Wear your best, your favorite, or whatever garb happens to be clean. All are welcome to participate, from the smallest (with parental permission) to the tallest! Longtime SCAdians to brand-new-to-us SCAdians! Participants may strut their stuff, walk slowly pretending no one is looking, or even slink across the Runway. A 3”x5” notecard will be provided for you to write your name, general time period and region, and any additional details about the outfit you are modeling. This will be fun for all, and a chance to have your “What are they wearing?” questions answered!

Fashion Show will take place immediately following Lunch.

Please see Lady Hildegard Bergerin to sign up, or with questions.
