I can come and spin on either a hand spindle or wheel -- I have various antique wheels on which I can demonstrate and one very modern wheel that I would let the scouts try to spin on. Flyer wheels are at the very end of period IIRC so am not sure what would be the most appropriate. I think it depends on how much you all want the scouts to be able to do versus what they can look at.<br>
<br>I also have a small two-shaft table loom that I could warp up and let the scouts weave on. It is not period (metal heddles, for instance, plus just the whole table loom concept) so again I am not sure what's appropriate here. I've used this loom for workshops with three and four year olds -- it is very sturdy and easy for them to comprehend.<br>
<br>My two children (10 & 7) will be coming with me. I think they would be interested in helping where appropriate; both know how to weave but I'm not sure whether or not they would make good coaches for the scouts. Also I expect that Jurgen will drift over towards the fighting if given his druthers.<br>
<br>I could also bring fleece in various stages of preparation, Viking wool combs, etc. Annabelle, perhaps you & I (and any other fiber folk who are interested in attending) can talk about coordinating?<br><br>It would help me think about this if I knew how many scouts there were, and whether they are just going to roam around or are expecting to stay at one "station" for a certain amount of time and then move on to the next. Should I prepare a little spiel? Opportunities for hands-on experimentation? Or should I just do stuff and talk to whoever's watching? <br>

Hello Baroness Annabelle,<br>Thank you for your continued interest in the cub scout demo and for reminding me to get the word out about it. The demo will be held Friday June 10 at the Big
Tepee District Cub Scout Day Camp located at Ray Trent Park in Del
City. The demo will last from 11 AM to 12:30 PM and will include chivalric and rapier combat and A&S demonstrations. The park will
be open at 8 AM for setup. Lunch will be provided to
demonstrators, so I will need a head count of participants by May 30. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer them.<br><br>Populace members, please e-mail the list by May 30 if you plan to attend so that I can get a head count to my POC with the cub scouts. I know that many of us work, but I would like to make a good showing (especially of fighters) for the troop.<br>
Thanks for all you do, and have a great weekend!<br>YIS to Namron and the Dream,<br>Baronessa Caterina<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br>> Your Excellency,<br>> <br>> Do you have any further information on the demo?<br>
