Costume Track

Posted on Posted in Events Tagged with , ,

New this year – we have the beginnings of a costuming track.  In addition to having a costume contest on Saturday evening, we have three seminars about costuming.  We also have a LARP for which costumes are not required, but I thought there might be some interest in it as well.
