I've only ever been to the demo last year, so I don't know what 
history it may have. Last year was mostly fighting and kids playing 
fight-the-knight. I don't *think* there was any kind of A&S display, 
but I could be wrong on that. We could probably have done nothing 
*but* fight-the-knight and still kept busy (at least until the 
fighters were exhausted. <G>)

One thing in ACF's favor when compared to a school demo is that it's 
on a weekend, which means that it will conflict with fewer work 
schedules so more people should be able to attend. The downside is 
that it's against Three Kings and a lot of folks are planning to go to that.

Personally, I had a good time last year, and even if we don't do a 
demo, I plan to go back this year.
