[Northkeep] Chinese Lanterns for Crown Tournament Hafla

[Hugh & Belinda Niewoehner]

Okay, ours are the kind you suspend, they don't float.  They may not be 
quite as cool that way, but could still be attractive hung from the 
trees.  Or can they be suspended?

Burn ban = no flame = no candles = no heat = no float = no chinese lanterns. Its too bad really, those things are about as cool and spiffy as you can get.  Perhaps you can use those solar lights set atop some tiki torches.  they dont provide much light but some is better than none.   Or conversely, there are staked ones you can get at Walmart that are only a couple of bucks each and you can stake them in the ground early that day so they get a good charge and glow most of the night.
