[Ansteorra-announce] SCA demo

[Shane Wallace]

Greetings Unto the Kingdom of Ansteorra,

The Barony of Raven's Fort would like to invite all members of Ansteorra
to participate in an SCA Demo. As discussed at the Raven's Fort
populace meeting, the Huntsville / Trinity  Celtic "Scottish" Festival
will soon be upon us. To be more precise, the weekend after
Thanksgiving at the Walker County Faire Grounds in Huntsville Texas.
We need all members who are interested in participating to please contact
me as soon as possible. This SCA Demo will be much larger
than the Carriage Inn Demo. There will be crowds of people there up to
3000 from all over Texas. The Festival organizer has invited the SCA to
participate and has given us a very large section of land to play on.
There will be camping allow, Bardic Circles, Heavy & Light Fighting,
Archery, A&S Displays, SCA Merchants, water and electricity hookups,
modern rest rooms, and other historical groups there as well. The
Festival people will be running The Highland Games, food and drink
venders to include Ale, and entertainment "music and dance" groups. Did
I mention it's a WET sight? This demo offers a fantastic chance to build
the baronial and kingdom  populations. Furthermore, most people who
attend these events have garb and play seriously with other historical
groups, we could get some serious people /players out of this. So come
one come all and lend a helping hand in building the game we all love
and call the SCA! ! !

In Service to the Dream, Kingdom, and Barony,

Lord Malcolm de Crauford
