PE - Re: period encampment at three kings

[Cherie Nolan]

MY WISE and all knowing assistant made me think of the thoughts that you guys may be thinking about this encampment. We are for the MOST part trying to have the period feel
of the encampment. With torches, period mugs for the drinks. We are turning out lights. Making a squared encampment with no mundane tents to be seen. Hiding everything that
we can. The chili is the exception. I am not the theme coordinator just the person they asked to help bring people in to the encampment. But they need a big pat on the back
for making a first attemp for trying. :) Marguerite
