The Renaissance Symposium, Feb 6-9, 2009, in Modesto, California
Bill Watters sent us info about the 2009 Renaissance Workshops & Symposium today, asking that we share it with our readers.
It’s time to come together to learn from each other and share ideas to help make for a better Renaissance Faire experience. To be held at the Modesto Doubletree on February 6th-8th, a weekend long workshop & symposium geared toward faire participants, vendors, and playtrons. Basically for anyone interested in learning about fitting into the Renaissance atmosphere.
