[OSP] Crafting Fair - [July 25, 2009]
« on: July 11, 2009, 12:47:47 pm »
Announcement:

The Explorers Guild in association with the Octarchal Society for Progress is proud to announce the first in monthly series of fairs and celebrations with various themes.

This first fair will be dedicated to all things crafting related.  Crafters from around the land are encouraged to gather and discuss and demonstrate their creations in weapons, shields, and all things crafted.

Overview:
When:   July 25, 2009 - 2PM ET or 6PM GMT
Where:  Lake of Tears Outpost - Bronze Door Road2
Who:     Anyone interested in crafting or crated items
Needed: Crafters willing to discuss their experiences with the crafting business.  Also merchants interested in selling their wares.
Contact: Contact Mordaan or any member of the Explorer's Guild if you are interested in making a presentation


Further details:

There will be discussions and demonstrations on types of items created, techniques, and guidelines.

New to crafting or interested in getting started?  Why not learn from the best and get some tips and advice from some of Yliakum's best crafters.

After the presentations, there will be an opportunity to buy and sell top quality items, especially weapons.  There is a vendor area by the Outpost ideal for setting up shop.  Remember, crafted items only, not looted items.

Food and drinks will be provided.


Further information:

This is the first in a series of fairs to be held at the Lake of Tears Outpost each month.  The following is a tentative schedule of further fairs.  Dates and times to be determined.

 - August: Mage / Magic Fair
 - September: Cooking Fair / Bake Sale

Ideas for future events include:
-Poetry fair (calling all poets!)
-Botany fair (discuss everything about plants and herbs)
-Weapons fair/auction (display and discuss your best crafted and looted weapons)

Other ideas and suggestions are welcome.

The Stonehead Tavern has agreed to supply food and drinks for the event.  Thanks to Illysia and Elady for their efforts.

For those of you who are unfamiliar where the Outpost is located, we will be having a tour to the location leaving before the event.

The event was interesting.  Not as grand as I had planned but it was more of an ...intimate setting.
Thanks for all those who attended.  And once again to Elady for supplying food and drinks.
There were no kran who attended so the kran food doubled as crafting materials.   ;D

And thanks to Speedro for his demonstration of making a battle axe.

I think there will be even more interest for our next event, the mage fair.  We will discuss all things magic, which should be of interest to many.  A tentative date will be August 22 but details will be finalized.
