St. Radegund's Fair

St. Radegund's Fair will be held August 20th, 21st, and 22nd at Jack McGowan's Farm . Site/Camping fee will be $15.00 with a $5.00 non member sir charge.There is a family cap at $45.00. There will be a pot luck feast on Saturday evening.

Though we have a goodly amount of  classes already, we  are always looking for more classes and instructors!  St. Radegund herself required all women who came to her abbey, regardless of station, to be literate.  She kissed lepers to the dismay of those around her. She told off kings and princes.  In this wonderful tradition of "No Respecter Of Persons" , we in Rivenwood Tower believe ALL have something worthy to share!  Do you know how to make one fabulous period dish?  Can you whip up a tunic the night before?  Do you know useful Latin phrases?  Can you recite the Lord's Prayer in Old English?  Can you write something in the Gothic calligraphy style?  Can you do naalbinding? If you felt the least little tug at your conscience at any of these things, perhaps it was the good Saint poking you in the back.  Please send your class idea and intent to:  St. Radegund class coordinator  Anna Schuster.
