[Ansteorra-announce] Barony of Namron's Medieval Faire

[CLASS016 at aol.com]

  Unto the list does the Barony of Namron send its greetings and an invitation to all good people to participate in the 26th Annual OU Medieval Faire on April 5, 6 and 7, 2002 at the Duck Pond in Norman, Oklahoma.
  More than 130,000 mundanes from around the Northern Region and beyond attend this free faire where the SCA is a main part of the entertainment which gives us a wonderful stage to show off our fine works in the area of A & S – dance (courtly & middle eastern), music, costuming, scroll work, jewelry, tapestry/weaving/needlework, etc.; combat – heavy & light fighting; and the hospitaler abilities each and every one of us have to teach mundanes about the SCA.
  A tent dedicated to A & S will be constantly manned with locked boxes available for displaying your wonderful items.  Please bring your portable A & S items – all will be needed.  The more items the better!
  The list field will be open and ready for single combat, melee, tavern fights and spang heuing.  This year we will also be highlighting female heavy and light fighters during special times to entice the female athletes from our 5 area colleges into participating in these exciting games!  The fighting will be single combat and/or melees depending on how many female fighters armor up.
  Enjoyable entertainment such as music, drumming and courtly and middle eastern dancing always draw big crowds so come out and make some noise.
  A revel will be held Saturday night to honor all of those good people who come out to help with this long 3 day demo … kick back or kick your heels up and enjoy an evening among friends.
  This demo requires all types of volunteers including set-up, clean-up and break-down crews, people to walk the ropes touting the SCA, waterbearers, heralds, fighters, dancers, bards, people at the A & S tent and hospitaler’s area, people to walk in the Medieval Faire King & Queen’s procession and all the other exciting aspects of a large demo.  Bring flyers about you group to hand out, bring your armor and arts to work on and your love of the dream to share with the crowd.
  A schedule, contact list and directions will be on the Barony of Namron’s web site shortly http://namron.ansteorra.org/ .  If your group is planning on attending, please contact our Medieval Faire Liaison, Bianca Sereni at class016 at aol.com or sjonna at ysoc.org .  Like in any university town, there is no free parking!  To receive parking passes, please have one person from your group contact Bianca with a list of names (both SCA and mundane) and tag numbers at least 14 days prior to the demo.
  Please come out and share 3 glorious days with us and the dream more than 100,000!
