<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe currently that there will be no
electricity available. As for security that is the responsibility of the faire
management. This is not an "SCA Event" but a recruitment/demo opportunity so
that we can further spread the word about the SCA and hopefully gain new members
for qll the groups in the region and Kingdom. We will be guests of the faire so
we will have to abide by their rules whatever they may be.</FONT></DIV>

said at the populace meeting I am posting what has been sent to the
Seneschals of the Central Region for questions, comments, etc from all
interested parties</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">There will be a new
Renaissance/Medieval Fair starting up near Hillsboro TX., which is
tentatively named Middlefaire. Hillsboro is located about halfway between
the DFW area and Waco. The Faire Coordinator would very much like the SCA to
participate and has told me that for the most part that we would have a
blank canvas to work with as far as what we do out there. Due to the effects
of Mother Nature they are planning on breaking ground in October of this
year, and also will have potable running water piped into certain areas of
the grounds.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Initially they are planning 2
or 3 one-weekend events as part of their start-up instead of trying to run a
multi-weekend faire such as TRF or Scarborough. The Faire Coordinator is
aware that we have many events through out the year and that our attendance
may be sparse or non-existent at times. Tentatively their first weekend is
planned for the weekend of July 15-17, 2005 which is the weekend of King’s
Round Table, but as the majority of our members do not attend Round Table
hopefully we would still be able to field a good level of presence. It is
currently planned that the first weekend will have a
Renaissance/Swashbuckler theme, which would be a good showcase for the
Rapier community.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The middle of Summer at this
location is sunny and hot however I have been told that due to the location
evenings are pleasant and breezy so accordingly their hours will run longer
into the evening hours. There is space available for on premise camping,
which will need to be mowed prior to use.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Some of the ideas that have
been brought that we can/might be able to do would be Chivalric Combat,
Rapier Combat, Youth Combat, Archery (with us being able to set up a
semi-permanent archery range), Equestrian activities, and A&S demos. SCA
merchants who are selling their wares as well as doing demonstrations of
their craft would be allowed on site for free as well as allowed to sell,
merchants who just wish to sell would be charged a nominal fee yet to be
determined. We could also use this to showcase our Bards and let them gain
exposure that they normally would not receive.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Initially I feel that the use
of period pavilions would work best for this project and making our own
compound/structure to house us when we are there is welcomed by the Faire.
Mundanities will need to be covered as much as possible. Period mugs and
feast gear would be desired for use there. Smoking of cigarettes should be
done where it is not readily obvious, however pipes should be okay.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I will be having a meeting
with the Coordinator around the middle of September, so please bring this up
idea before your Populace and if there are any questions that they would
liked answered please send them to me so I can get them answered. Depending
on what kind of response I receive about this I will see about setting up a
listserver either on ansterorra.org or at another site to keep those
interested informed.</P>
