Festivites!! The following events will be scattered through out the event, time allowing.
Love God/Goddess of the Wetlands Contest:
Prove to all present your skills at either: pick up lines, marriage proposals, serenades,
etc. Anything to endear you to the opposite sex without actually touching them.
BUT... you must incorporate water into your act. Extra consideration will be given for the
use of actual water in your act. There should be an even ratio of female=male judges for
fairness. The prize could be a box of lubricated (we ARE the Wetlands after all) condoms for
adults. *grin*
Woad the Warrior Contest
Using water-based paint, the winner is the person who can most artistically "woad" their
warrior. Paint will be provided. However, it is BYOW (Bring Your Own Warrior). The prize
could be a belt favor w/ a screened paint palettes or something similarly artistic on it &
some sort of indicator of where they received it.
Also, Gideon is running Gideon's Crypt through out the event. There are things for kids to do
with it so they can be involved in a "safe" activity. Fnord (kha764 at airmail.net) can tell you
more about the Crypt since he went through it.

I am putting out a call for all those entries that were perfect scores at quals to
be displayed at the event:
Vaar's Knighting Scroll - by Fionnghal - Framed if possible
Vaar's Chainmail - by Vaargard
Tiger Belt - by Denah
Japanese Leather Armor - by Tiger
Barbarian Armor by Zol
I also want to publish Lucas' paper on the Dream in the Siren (which will be at the
event, cost is a postage stamp). It is short and to the point. It was not a perfect
score but it won 1st in Statesmenship essay.
The Wetlands' Overall Artisan will be announced at the event. The process is: the best five
of of the different arts and sciences events entered. That means that if you entered 5
3-d art entries and one in each of the other categories only one of the 3d art
entries will be used toward you final score. Only those who entered 5 or more
different arts entries will be eligible for the title.
The cooks will have commemorative aprons.
The servers will have commemorative aprons, (write to Spryghte to volunteer, Sp. give
me a final number by the 22nd!).
NO PETS!!!! We are sharing the site with horses. Leave your pets at home I do not
care if it is a cat or a mouse or a bird, NO PETS!!! There is no shade!!
The Gypsy's will be in charge of the "Lost and Found" since they are clean up crew.
Whatever is found will be at the gate so as you leave you can ask the head gypsy if
he found it. Whatever is left will be auctioned off at Midreign as one lot.
There will be a sectioned off area for: the Governors - do not camp here if you do
not want to be awaken at 7am by a baby.
The ditch field - if you all want to fight do it here and NOT at you tent.
The fighting field - for whatever you all decided to do once the althing is over.
Please remember that the althing is to pass the Corpora Book of Laws AS IS. We can make the
changes in spelling, and missing titles later. That is what midreign is for. We all
have our little list of little things to tweak. But add them up and it becomes 200
members with 5 to 10 different things to talk about. You do the math. We will not
get to eat while we argue but our guests will get fed.
Medical crisis. We will call the EMS for you. We are not certified to help you
beyond a band aid so bring your own first aid kit, aspirins, Tums, sun block, and
extra bactine. I do not know if there are mosquitos in that particular area so bring
repellant as well. Make sure it is not the perfumed kind, it does not work here.
There is no shade.
Merchants. I have put out a call for merchants so maybe we will have a high turn
out. Houston is known for its outstanding SCA merchants hopefully one or two who are
not going to Stepps Warlord will turnout. If you are a merchant make sure you have
your permits. The site owner will be there on Saturday. No permits, no sales! We
wanted to charge a booth fee but WE need a permit to do that soooo no booth fee this
time.
Bring out every single banner you have in your possession. We want color everywhere.
I will try to have banners at the entrance so you will not miss it.

required. If participant is under 14 they may NOT actively "fight" in an event
without Crown AND Parent/Guardian permission. Parents of those under 14 must be
present at ALL times during fighting events if the participant is playing in a
fighting capacity unless otherwise authorized by the Crown.
