Field Trips

More reasons why you should come early and stay late for CC25.

Thursday afternoon/evening will be a run to Jackman's Fabrics, which features a good
selection of finer Bridal fabrics, and a wide variety of unusual cottons & cotton prints.
We're working on a discount on most items bought that night.
The store will be open until 9 pm. Committee member Cathy Swope will be working that
night to assist any costumers who stop by.

And on Monday:

A visit to ST Leather: Suggested meeting time will be 9:30 AM. The proprietors will let
people come in and wander around the warehouse to shop (and smell the leather!)

Follow this with: Jackman's Fabrics reprise + Artistic Fabrics:
Meet around 12:30 pm, tentatively. Artistic Fabrics adjoins Jackman's but is not part of
the same business and is only open during normal business hours.
Lots of really nice upholstery fabrics and brocades!

Both of these will be led by Cathy Swope.

Costumes! Sheila Lenkman is offering a tour of the costume warehouses of both
The Repertory Theatre and the Opera Theatres of St. Louis.
The SLCG has seen the former. Excellent stuff, and Sheila sez the Opera Theatre
warehouse is even more fabulous! Meeting time is approximately 12:00, to arrive at the Opera at 12:30 pm. From there, the group will proceed to the Repertory Theatre's warehouse

VERY tentatively, is a trip to the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site:
www.cahokiamounds.com/cahokia.html.
It is the location of the "largest pre-historic Indian city in North America".
Kate McClure has offered to lead this one but they are not open on Monday at
this time of year.

Of course, all of these will be dependent on availability of transportation.
There will be a signup sheet for the Monday activities for interested parties
(and for willing drivers). We may be able to convince one or two staffers to
be chauffeurs; but if anyone is driving to St. Louis for the con, we'd
appreciate hearing from them, too.
