Talia,
I would love to come out but looking at my blue card it expired in Nov.2013. If this is a problem I guess I can't help out. Let me know.

>I was able to meet with the school representatives yesterday to discuss
>logistics and we have a wide variety of space at our disposal. Since this is a new event it is unclear how
>many people will be in attendance but they are expecting between 100 and 300. The
>history teachers and the school faculty are very excited that we are
>participating and are thrilled that we will be able to provide a hands on,
>living history experience for their students, the parents, and the
>faculty. They are providing us with a
>hospitality room where we will be able to take a break and grab a drink or a
>snack. We are also providing a light
>luncheon to those of you willing to take the time out of your Saturday to
>assist. It’s not just a bribe, it’s also
>a thank you for making it a priority to contribute to our dream. :-D

>We will be allowed to bring our weapons and materials onto
>campus but all weapons will need to be checked in by the Police Officer in
>attendance. All participants, both public and SCA members, will be required to
>sign waivers or show their blue cardto participate in any marshal activities.
>We are encouraging as much hands on experience as possible and, to that end, we
>will have Tristan, our local youth rapier marshal, on hand to encourage youth
>participation. We are in need of more
>rapier and Chiv fighters to participate and also, if we have one locally, a
>youth heavy marshal. We will have an
>archery range set up and loaner bows available but I would also like some more
>archers to come out and be available for teaching! So far the weather calls for
>sunshine and cool temperatures but in the event of rain we will be able to
>utilize the larger gym for everything except archery.

>In addition to the marshal activities occurring outside we
>will have space available indoors and under cover for other arts. So far these
>are the other crafts being demonstrated:

>
>1.
>Quinn is bringing leather and Iron-Vinegar dye
>so that attendees can experiment with medieval chemistry. If you have extra leather scraps we would
>appreciate them.
>
>2.
>Elena is bringing charters and paints for
>illumination. We would love to have
>completed scrolls to show off if you have some we can use for the day.
>
>3.
>Joseph and Pippa are bringing soap and carving
>supplies and possibly several inkle looms.
>I have extra thread and yarn we can use to warp them but we could use more.
>
>
>4.
>Andrea is bringing drop spindles and fiber for
>spinning
>
>5.
>Fedelm is letting us borrow embroidery hoops and
>“brass rubbing” kits but we need someone who can demonstrate them as she is
>unable to come.
>
>6.
>Tammy is bringing her spinning wheel, a lucet
>loom, and lace
>
>7.
>Andrew is coming out to regale us with story and
>song.

>8.
>Maggie and Katya are trying to decided which type
>of weaving to demonstrate or whether to bring out several options; sprang, twining,
>and finger loop braiding.
>
>9.
>Yamai is bringing several items for a static
>display of weaponry
>
>10. Genevieve
>is open to teaching an English country dance

>We have some amazing and talented people already offering
>their time but we can always use more! We will all need to be able to take a
>break and some people are unable to stay the entire time so, just because
>someone is already showcasing an art doesn’t mean that you can’t participate as
>well!
>
>
>
>Another craft we could have someone exhibit would be Viking
>wire weaving. Also, we can’t have a fire but, if anyone has blacksmithing they
>would like to show we can set up a table as well. Genevieve and I are working
>on a little “photo booth” area where people can dress up and take a picture so
>if you have any spare garb we would love to borrow it! Unfortunately, we can’t
>have the horses but it would be great if we could get some video footage and
>pictures of them in action to show on the projection screen we will have available
>to us.

>We will be allowed on site as early as 7:30 that morning
>and, if we have them available, will be allowed to pitch pavilions as
>well. We need people to help with set up
>and tear down of tables and/or pavilions as well as donations of table
>coverings. Hennessy and I could also use
>someone to help with food prep and distribution! :-D

>Thank you to all of you who have already volunteered. To those of you who have not yet, please,
>come out and help us demonstrate our dream and build relationships in our
>community!
