GREEN RIDGE HOLD MARKET DAY
During the warm months (M12-7) an informal market day is held at Green Ridge Hold on the last restday of each month, an event which gradually evolved from monthly meetings to assess progress during the early formative stages of the establishment of the Hold. The market day is very informal, with holdfolk setting up booths around the paths and trees in the general area between the Manor and the barn. This is not a gather, nor even a celebration of any kind--no music, dancing or feasting, and since all are welcome to partake of meals in the dining hall, there are seldom any hot-food vendors. Instead, this is an opportunity for Hold residents and cotholders to sell produce in the summer and also crafts they may have made during the cold winter months; it provides an opportunity also to resupply necessities not self produced, such as food supplies, clothing, boots or even small luxuries when finances allow.
The Hold itself does not generally sell items at market day save for necessary supplies or items otherwise unavailable from any current vendor (in which case, see Steward Selaira); it will sell paper, available at the Harpercraft booth after Month 4 of Turn 37. We might expect items produced in spare time from the various crafts represented at the Hold: Weavercraft, Woodcraft, Smithcraft, Tannercraft and occasionally the Harpercraft might offer some craft-made instruments. Numbweed, redwort, bandages and packets of healing herbs as well as other medical supplies will be available at the infirmary. Local herbalists might be selling herbs and scents, cotholders selling the occasional livestock as well as cot-made crafts and necessities. On occasion a trader ship might be in dock, with more and sometimes exotic items for sale--keep watch in the newsletter for announcements about traders.
