[SCA-AE] RE: Need Merchant Info

[Aoife]

Rocky and other interested folks:

A very nice SCAdian who works with an insurance agent is working on a quote for me--I don't know how much the bottom line will be yet, but she thinks she can insure me for only the 3 days I'll be there (I opted out of insuring my own mdse). I'm expecting the quote form her boss tomorrow. She's in Dubois PA (Nithgaard). Any way, here's her info if you or anyone else would like to contact her for a quote. Be sure to use her modern name and explain you're in the SCA and got her contact info for merchant insurance for War Practice. This is her business info:

Modern Name:Tia Dixon (SCA: Temair)

Wm Bowley Insurance 
Tia at bowleyins.com
the office # Is 800-444-7447.

Hope that helps.

Last year I posted something about forming a merchant coalition: At the time the point was to compile a directory. This would be another good use of that list. Unfortunatley I only got 2 replies at the time. Maybe this will jump-start the process. I'm not in a position to organize it now, but it would be a good project for someone...

Hi all --

Some friends of mine wanted to "stick their toes in" as merchants at the 10th Yr event, but the insurance has discouraged them.
Might some "semi-professional" merchant want to try to organize
insurance for this event and or Pennsic?
