“The Ides of March.”

Exactly four weeks remain before the Exposition once more opens its portals to imagination and immersion of an alternate 1893 World’s Fair, and the schedule is now available!!! There will be a few minor edits and alterations in the next four weeks, but for the most part this will be the order of events next month.

A full printable grid version of the schedule will also be available at the beginning of April 2024.

As you may notice, there are several Steam & Sorcery LARP game “Chapters” spread throughout the weekend’s schedule for those who wish to immerse themselves into the plot and solve the various mysteries. Here is our latest clue . . .

These clues cards can be used in our immersive live action role-playing game (LARP) Steam & Sorcery; see below for details of the game. Click HERE for the previous clue cards.


Afternoon Tea

Both Saturday and Sunday afternoon of the Exposition, we offer you the opportunity to relax with cups of tea, delicious finger foods, and delightful conversation with some of our guests of honor.

Each tea party table is offered a choice of teas: English Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey, Assam, or Darjeeling. Food served  to accompany the tea consists of: British scone with jam and clotted cream, 2 cucumber sandwiches, 2 egg salad sandwiches, 2 mini eclairs, 2 lemon tartlets, cup of fruit, and 2 Chessmen cookies (for Tea Dueling).

Saturday – 2pm
Saturday – 4pm
Sunday – 2pm

 

Tickets are limited and tend to sell out quickly, especially for the tables sharing tea with one of our Guests of Honor, so don’t delay.
