ADLOCVTIO
NEWSLETTER OF THE TWENTIETH LEGION

Vol. XX, no. xii, December 2010



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.

SPAM

    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!
