I will be getting better pics later this month if I can get a video card with
a
frame grabber.  I will send them to you when I get them.

I will send you by email the new pics of this garden too.

Oh yes, there are many dry sites used by the SCA in Tennessee, but I am
referring to Cumberland Centre being wet as in 40 days/40 nights. As to
alcohol at CC, we are openly "wet" but with strict adherence to age laws.

Actually, we do have a site already, www.cumberlandcentre.org[1] , but I do
not have easy access to put pics on it yet.  Hopefully by spring I can post
CC relevent pics and notices there more easily.

Lots of freezers!

Oh definitely!  We will likely serve about 1/3 to 1/2 pound per person to
the feast goers at large.

To some extent yes; other exchanges vary with the ocassion.

Glad to give folks an opportunity.  Deer are so common here at CC, we call
them
the "long-legged, whitetail rats".  Jon has to keep telling me not too shoot
any more
as it is difficult to keep up with butchering and finding freezer space for
the meat.
