The Shire of Smithwick would like to invite our friends to our Summer event on Friday June 26th through Sunday June 28th. Our event is held on a very private property, with a large Viking Long House. This year we have some wonderful A&S classes. Among the classes included, Jay Witcher (Lord Terren of TIR) will be teaching a class on making your own Anglo Saxon period lyre. He will provide all supples but you must bring your own hand tools and there is a materials fee of 50 dollars but string material, pegs, wood, and all the other supplies will be included. Please contact Lord Terren to preregister at witcherharps@ainop.com. Please remember this class will likely take most of the weekend. Pre-registration is required for this class by June 1st limited to 10 people only.

We will also have a class on making working pocket sundials caculated to Maine and also Pennsic. This class is free and is sutiable for adults and children over the age of 10 when accompanied by an adult.

We will shortly send you a list of other classes and hope some will travel to Smithwick for this event.
