<br>
I agree with Cat. Appearing as separate entity would be the key.<br>
<br>
Is there any ideas for handouts that would also make us stand out.<br>
<br>
My idea is a single glass bead on a piece of yarn. We have several bead makers. Bucello said his rough estimate of cost is less than the cost of normal Mardi Gras beads, about .05-.15 cents a piece. ($25-$75) Depending on if you want consider the cost of propane.
Put a little tag on it that says The SCA and the website. I'm sure it won't be tossed aside when the spectators get home.<br>
<br>
Also, remember throwing hand-outs is prohibited.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Greetings all,<br>
I think that we should definitely participate in the Norman Mardi Gras Parade, but I have mixed feelings about whether or not we should walk with the Medieval Fair crew and here they are:<br>
It might be kind of nice to seperate ourselves from the Medieval Fair and get more publicity for the SCA as a seperate group, but we can only do that if we can get a large enough group of SCAdians to commit to going. Many times, there just are not that many
of us there in attendance, and we don't want to have like 5 people marching by ourselves because that would look pathetic. So, I guess my thoughts are, if lots of us are going to be able to go, we can register or our own, but if only a few of us are going
to be able to go then we should walk with the Medieval Fair crew and just carry SCA banners, signs, and fliers like we have in the past. Either way that we end up going, I think that we should extend an invitation to Skorrgardr and Wiesenfeuer and as well.
<br>
What does everyone else think? <br>
