Lords and Ladies, Artisans and Fighters The DEMO for the NORTH TEXAS IRISH FESTIVAL is coming up soon. The 1st week end in March is an automatic set-aside on your calendar. Time schedules break down as follows: Friday set up, 6:00p.m. until done; Saturday 10:30 until 2:30 and 2:30 until about 6:30p.m. (festival lasts until 10:30), and Sunday 11:30a.m. until about 3:00p.m. and 3:00 until tear down about 6:30-7:00p.m. In other words, your time is about 4 hours for the shift you choose, then either before or afterwards (or both) you can continue to enjoy the pleasures of the Irish Fest. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DEMO OPPORTUNITY!!! We have many hundreds of people that we have the chance to recruit for the SCA. Please consider showing or making or doing whatever artistic endeavor you please. Fighters, come and show off your armour and weapons and talk to the young bucks wanting to show their manliness. Fighting schedules are still in the arranging stage. PLEASE contact me ASAP to start filling in the schedules. Thank you, Bre'nainn Mac Giolla Pha'draig, demo coordinator.
