I feel comfortable forwarding this note from the Pelican list.

If you're not going to Crown Tourney, please take note.

>Greetings to all my Brother and Sister Peers of lovely Ansteorra

>It appears that I have a slight dilemma on my hands.  The small town
>that we live in is having it's yearly Fair the weekend of Crown (October
>16th).  The local SCA folks in our area (many up until now have never played
>on
>a level greater than a local fighter practice) wanted to have a information
>booth.  Well since we are trying to pull this group together, Ron and I
>decided we would forgo Crown and help set this up.  Upon contacting the
>local Chamber of Commerce--they were crazy for the idea.  Our booth has
>now turned into a day long demo.  On top of that, last week they ran
>an article about Quinfest and gave us a rather prominent mention.  It is
>my understanding that this or next weeks paper could have another
>article with photos  (okay.....we really have slow news WEEKS out
>where I live).  On top of all this, my ladyewife--Mistress Ronna--has
>been tagged by the local Chamber to act as liason for the visiting
>State Congressmen, Mayors, etc... to show them around.  This means
>that she will be in mundanes and unable to do all her fibre arts and
>courtly graces things that we normally do at demos.
>
>Consequently, if any of you are not attending Crown and are in the
>Dallas area (we are about 40 minutes East)I'd love to have you come
>out and help.  Since most of the folks are fairly new, they have
>very little "Arts" things to display.  There ability to "demo" arts
>is also a little constrained.  Even if we just have people out to
>provide some color it would be appreciated.
>
>We will be having a Lists field set up for Heavy and Light fighting.
>We have a couple of fighters for fighting demos, but obviously, the
>more the merrier.  As I am a tad rusty on the List Field, anyone
>wishing to come instruct some of the boys on the finer points of
>fighting (so they look less like they are clubbing baby harp seals)
>would be welcome  :)
>
>For the life of me, I did not expect this kind of reaction from
>the local community. Any assistance either you or your retainers
>could provide would be greatly appreciated.  If you can make it,
>or have any ideas for me, please e-mail me and we'll exchange
>particulars.  Otherwise, have fun at Crown!
>
>Thank you,
