CULTURE A LA CARTE
We went to this cultural event in Fredericksburg
last year and had a good time. They attract school kids (and
adults!) from all over the area, and will be making a special effort to
get Latin students this year. The date is Saturday March 5, from
11 AM to 4 PM, and the location is Riverbend High School (different
site from last year but not far away). It's an indoor event, so
no weather worries or tent, and there will be lots of visitors.

Yeah, I know, this issue probably sets a record for
"late"! Not even published in the right *year*… Sorry,
folks, been busy with other things:

I was thinking to aim the ornaments at the steampunk crowd, but
my co-workers have actually bought a bunch! So I figured a little
spamming of other audiences was in order. More ornaments and
sculptures will be showing up there for months to come. I haven't
given up on historical activities, mind you! I'm just not
*making* much in the way of historical stuff. And you don't HAVE
to buy any of these wonderful things, of course! I'm sure I'll
find some other way to pay for groceries… Enjoy!
