If the classes you would like to attend are already full, you can add your name to the waiting list by using the appropriate waiting list item number. Make sure you still have three classes chosen, even if you are placing yourself on the waiting lists for your first choices. If you do not want to attend three classes, please indicate this when you place your order (if ordering online, place a note in the 'comments' field at checkout). Payment for on-line and fax registration must be made by credit card. Registrations are also accepted by mail (postmarked November 2, or later), on a first come, first serve basis with payment made by check, money order or credit card. All registrations must include telephone number and email address if available. We will send confirmation upon receipt of the completed registration form and payment.
HOTEL - Free shuttles from and to the Fargo Hector Airport.
Fargo Holiday Inn, 3803 13th Ave. S., Fargo, ND. A block of
sleeping rooms is reserved for the Retreat attendees. This block is for standard and king leisure rooms away from the pool at a rate of $89.95 per night plus tax. Call toll free 1-877-282-2700 and ask for the Nordic Needle room block to reserve your room. For this price you must have your reservation made by March 17, 2008. If you have special needs or requests, make them when you register. Ask for a room close to the mezzanine if walking long distances is a problem.
AIRPORT
Hector International Airport is just a few miles from the hotel. Fargo, ND, is serviced by Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, Allegiant Airlines, and Delta Connection.
HJEMKOMST MUSEUM
One of the main tourist attractions in the Fargo/Moorhead area is the Hjemkomst Center. Hjemkomst means “homecoming” in Norwegian. See the actual Viking Ship that was built by Robert Asp and sailed to Bergen, Norway, and on display in this unique museum in Moorhead, MN. See the beautiful wooden Stave Church that is a replica of the Hopperstad Stave Church in Norway. Fascinating movies tell the stories of how these amazing structures came to be. http://www.hjemkomst-center.com/
BOOKMARK EXCHANGE AND PROJECT SWAP MEET
Bring a finished stitched bookmark in a gift bag, unmarked. We will collect them all and everyone who brought one will get to choose one! The Swap Meet is for those of you who have started a project and just don’t want to finish it! That doesn’t mean someone else won’t want it. If you bring one or more unfinished projects to give away, you can choose the same number of someone else’s to take home and make it your own. All unclaimed UFO’s at the end of the Retreat will be donated to a women’s shelter.
