Festival

More details will follow the closer we get to that date.

Hmmm we should just go ahead and add that in the description, becuase unless otherwise stated the price is always:

Price: $25 with the option to purchase up to 3 additional Build at $10 each, Addition Characters are $10 base and $5 each additional build.
Build Blanket: 4 (+0 - +3)

NPC’s: Free. May purchase extra build for $5 each
NPC Duty for PCs: +1 Build for every 2 hours donated of Random Monster NPC Duty to a max of +2 Build

Since it wasn't stated that there would be is it safe to assume there will be no self taught skill?

No, Self-Taught skills are bonuses usually only given at the Ball and the OOG Award Banquet (which we did not have last year).  It was also added to the recent Alt event, but it is not a common award for normal festivals.

Back in my day we didn't have self taught skills. You had to walk 20 miles uphill both ways to logistics to get them to maybe send out a teacher.

You forgot "in the snow..."

Seriously, the self-taughts are meant for when it is difficult or impossible to learn at a normal event.  Because the ball is non-combat, a skill is offered.  The Alt Event, you only have a few hours as your normal PC, which limits learning.  At a Festival, however, learning is not restricted, so there is no reason to offer self-teach beyond the normal Fate.
