CR - December demo

[Heather Jones]

Greetings to the Coastal Region!  I hope this missive finds you in good 
spirits,

The Canton of Westgate will be hosting a demo at The Carriage Inn of Katy 
(1400 Katy Flewellen Rd) on Saturday, December 16th.  The Carriage Inn is a 
small retirement community in the heart of Katy with just over 85 
residents.  The directors of the community have asked the SCA to come 
perform and to demonstrate the many activities that we do within the 
society for the residents, their families, and others within the Katy 
area.  The directors have several activities planned along with our 
demonstrations and the afternoon long "fair" will end with a feast in the 
large dining room (yes, all SCA attendees are welcome to dine at the feast).

The directors of the Carriage Inn have let me know that there is no 
activity too small or group too big to fit.  There is a lovely courtyard 
for fighting (though if the weather does not cooperate, we can move this 
inside with little effort), there are "activity rooms" for setting up 
tables to display various arts and sciences (tables will be provided), 
there is a "family style" room with a fireplace which would be wonderful 
for bardic performances and there are excellent surfaces to dance 
on.  There is even room for equestrians!

While we will probably not get many of the residents to join the SCA 
through this demo, there will be print media and the possibility of the 
news media there to cover what goes on during the day.  Either would give 
the SCA some wonderful publicity, but only if we have a good showing.  I 
know the timing is not the best when many are travelling during this 
holiday time, but it is for a good cause within the community and will 
probably result in some wonderful new members throughout greater Houston 
and surrounding areas.

If you are interested in joining the Canton of Westgate at this demo, 
please reply to me with a quick email letting me know when during the day 
you will be present, how many performance times you would like and for how 
long, how much space/many tables you will need, along with any other 
special considerations (electrical outlets, etc.)  Once I have the replies, 
I can create a schedule that should work for everyone.

Thank you,
Lady Suannoch nighean mhic Chionnich
