Is there suntan lotion in the first-aid kit?  If so, shouldn't it be
destributed to the populace at an event to keep them from getting
sunburned?  I have been sunburned at many a SCA event and sure would
have liked to have some suntan lotion to put on.  I am, however, an
adult (some don't believe it though) and therfore responsible for my own
sunburn...should I get something bad, say a third degree sunburn, it
would be my own fault for not bringing my own suntan lotion to the event
to protect myself from the sun...not the SCA's fault for not
destributing it if they even had it.
