2008 Ladies & Gentlemen of the 1860s Conference

[Carolann Schmitt]

Good Afternoon,

We have posted links on our web site www.genteelarts.com to information for the 2008 Ladies & Gentlemen of the 1860s Conference. The information is available as a downloadable document in Word and PDF formats (information) and Excel and PDF formats (registration forms). The documents contain all of the details for next year’s Conference.

The Conference offers a full program of presentations, pre-conference hands-on workshops, tours and seminars, a needlework/craft competition, a juried Marketplace and extensive displays of original garments and accessories.

In a few days we will post the web page itself, which will also include photos of some of the workshop projects and additional information on the Angels Project.

We’re looking forward to seeing old and new friends next March!

Regards,

I am eagerly awaiting the additional information about the work shops! I am hoping to be able to attend my first Ladies and Gentlemen of the 1860's conference!
I am talking to hubby (sweet Talk) and counting my pennies.
Hope to see you in March.

I wanted to add a Moderator comment on the event--this is a fantastic educational opportunity for anyone interested in the mid-19th century. Because the vast majority of soldiers were citizens before and after the War, the information presented is invaluable in creating a well-rounded impression. It's not "girly" stuff. :) Plan to attend if at all possible; it's one of the best investments you can make in your impression.
