The Chief of Police, the local Sheriff, the Fire Department and the<BR>EMTs are all planning on making appearances during the course of the day.<BR>These people really, really WANT us there so we won't be
viewed as "a bunch<BR>of crazies in strange clothes"! There is even talk of making it "an annual<BR>event ... maybe during a cooler time of the year." They are already asking<BR>if this goes well if Raven's Fort or another branch would consider hosting<BR>an event in their area! <BR><BR>So what do you think? Is the SCA going to let these good people down? I<BR>really hope not! Not only will it be good for Raven's Fort and surrounding<BR>Baronies/Shires, it will be good for the Society as a whole. We all know<BR>that membership numbers are down ... Here's a chance to get them back up.<BR>Demos are our recruiting tool and we should all take those opportunities to<BR>show the mundane world the beauty that is our Dream.<BR><BR>Every type of SCA personae and interest focus are needed for this demo. Come<BR>be a part of the biggest demo since we were part of the Texas Renaissance<BR>Festival!!!! Camping space and SHOWERS
will be available Friday night and<BR>Saturday ("love" donations to cover the cost is appreciated). Electricity is<BR>available in the camping area at $0.15 per kilowatt hour used. There is a<BR>Holiday Inn Express and the Crockett Inn within 2 miles of the site.<BR><BR>-------------------------------------------------- <BR><BR><BR>Not going to Round Table? Looking for something to fill you time that<BR>weekend? Want to encourage someone to join in celebrating our Dream and<BR>help out a family in need at the same time?<BR><BR>CONSIDER COMING TO OUR SPECIAL DEMO!!!<BR>--------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>When: July 17-9 AM to 5 PM<BR><BR>Where: American Legion Post 134, Crockett, TX<BR><BR>Lady Katrina Alyse Argo, Proprietress of Longship Furniture (formerly<BR>Barefoot Boxes) is putting together an SCA demo in Crockett, TX to benefit a<BR>family in need. The veterans of American Legion Post 134 are
very<BR>enthusiastic and being very supportive of this benefit. <BR><BR>. FOOD - there will be turkey legs, sausage on a stick, corn on the cob<BR>and corn dogs at the Benefit. I believe that the pricing will be "donation"<BR>style with $1 being the minimum. There will also be Coke, Dr. Pepper and<BR>Sprite at the event as well.<BR><BR>---------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>What We Need<BR><BR>. All types of FIGHTING: chivalric, rapier, siege engines, archery! The<BR>American Legion has requested that we announce any fighter's affiliation<BR>with any branch of the Armed Forces.

A<BR>large area of the parking lot will be cordoned off so that a true Merchant's<BR>Row can be set up. All we ask is a donation to the benefit or an item to<BR>put in the Silent
Auction. The people in the area are very interested in<BR>the items that we have for sale and are looking forward to browsing our<BR>goods.<BR><BR>. All types of ARTS & SCIENCES: weaving, sewing, armoring, soap-making,<BR>woodworking, blacksmithing!!! There are many in the area that would like to<BR>learn or exchange ideas and knowledge.

And rumor has it that<BR>there may be a "blacksmith" show up as well. <BR><BR>. EQUESTRIANS ARE ESPECIALLY INVITED!!! Crockett is horse country and the<BR>Legion was overjoyed to hear we may have "real" knights on horseback!<BR>Several Equestrians have already expressed an interest in attending. Many<BR>thanks go out to Master Eule who has enlisted Lady Calena to be the EqMIC<BR>and for coordinating efforts with
the Equestrian community. Arrangements<BR>have been made for a "stock tank" to be onsite for our use and shade for the<BR>picket line is available. We have had several people respond that they will<BR>be there with their horses in tow ... THANK YOU!!!<BR><BR>. MUSICIANS, BARDS AND DANCERS!!!
