Seminar Information Thank you if you are planning to attend the June Seminar At registration you will be expected to pay cash for any monies owed. Please read everything carefully written below The lessons with Mark will be in an UN-heated, non-air conditioned BARN. The weather in Maine is usually, hot, cold, windy, rainy, all of the previous can happen in one day! Please be prepared for all, with clothing to suit! Forgot to mention fog, which Mark found to be wonderful! Travel For your GPS, our address is 2 Fitz Hugh Lane, Mt Desert, ME. Hotels are only 4 miles away in Bar Harbor, and Trenton. The motel previous students has used is the Eden Brook across from the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Telephone #207-288-4975. Their rates are reasonable and refrigerators are available for a small fee. Trenton, just before you cross the bridge to Mount Desert Island has a reasonably priced on named Sunrise, #207-667-8452, or go on line, the area has many options. Any Question, just ask. Cowboy and Western Theme This year our theme goes along with the Friday night entertainment; an old Western Murder mystery, which you all will take part in. Some have speaking parts, but everyone is invited to join the festivities and dress as the theme dictates; Western, Mexican or Indian. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. There is a free supper, lots of laughs and the person who guesses who killed the sheriff wins a prize. All present get to play, we will have a working poker table, complete with dealer, bar with bartender, jail, which you may visit, roving cowhands that sing and even a resident ghost and a street person! Come and join the fun! Food Lunches will be served at the seminar; all home cooked, and come with a warning---you might gain weight! I will have labels on the food, so you will know what it contains. Lunch is FREE on Monday. Sign up for 2 more classes and get 20% off your total bill otherwise you will pay the regular price for any additional classes. For the remaining days the daily lunch fee of $6.00 will be charged. We will have a health form for you to fill out upon your arrival, with contact information in case of an emergency and with any dietary, and allergy needs. All food will be prepared fresh, on site. If you bring food for yourself, that is OK, but be sure to bring your own refrigeration. The house water is safe, and soda will be available for a fee. Coffee and snacks will be available all day. I assure you no one will go hungry! After classes are over, for your supper there is a very good BBQ restaurant within 2 miles, and a convenience store that has sandwiches (subway) and pizza within 1 mile.
