Spring's Inspirations I - VII Spring's Inspirations VII

In 2002, an idea was set into motion in Malagentia: that we host a small event devoted exclusively to the arts and sciences. Not a competition-based A&S event, but a day of workshops where folks could gather, relax, and teach others their diverse skills. A chance for Province members from all walks of SCAdian life to play together. Six years later as I write this, Spring's Inspirations has gained a loyal following of attendees from the region and beyond; the history of good food, good company, and knowledge shared, brings people back for more. Having been involved since the beginning, I am very pleased to see how well the event has prospered over the years, and am proud to be associated with a long list of generous teachers, cooks, and support staff who have brought to our area "The Best Little Arts Event in Malagentia". Mickel, Autocrat of Spring's Inspirations I - VII
