At the request of the Autocrat I am letting folks that may be concerned about the weather know that it is fine down there.  No rain or storms of anykind so come on down.

Based upon what we were looking at last year (when we still had DSL and could 
afford the bandwidth), the number of outfits along perioid lines -- if not 
directly attributable to period visual sources -- are really rather amazing.

The small picture that appeared in the left margin of a recent DMN issue 
barely does justice to the effects some of the entrants have achieved.  
Elizabethan ruffs, Italian Renn, German "pumpkin pants", parasols, walking sticks, 
chapeaux, fans, trains, tunics, etc. etc. etc.

Makes for a pleasurable browse to review the pictorial archives.  Some of the 
plaids achieved would even challenge the legendary Tiernan's fashion sense, I 
believe... <GRYN>

Subject: [Steppes] Assistance for 4th July at Old City Park
Message-ID: <00c301c43504$eb0dada0$491ee204@homeseries>

Hi, y'all:

Among my many activities in retirement has been helping with demos at Old City Park in Dallas.  This is a 1840-1910 village set up to show what life was like in North Texas back then.  Similar to the Heritage Farmstead Museum, for those who know the place in Plano.

They have asked not only for demo-ers, but also craftspersons who want to sell items, for their July 4th event.  You do need to have your wares vetted, and they should fall into the appropriate timeperiod.  I don't know about everybody, but I do know SCA craftspersons whose goods can pass for 19th Century or who also do later periods of work.

Here is the announcement (it has graphics, and I don't know if they will come through, hopefully the text will):

28th Annual Old-Fashioned Fourth at Old City Park

Sunday, July 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m

 

We are seeking heritage craft vendors whose work is consistent with the 1840-1910 era theme of Old City Park.  Old City Park will provide a free location and table for set-up, asking nothing but 10% of the day's gross receipts.  

 

The number of vendors will be limited and anyone interested must submit (by mail or by email) photographs of their work, so that we may ensure its consistency with the mission of Old City Park.  We are specifically seeking weavers, broom-makers, and basket-makers, but are open to all kinds of heritage crafts.




Dallas' longest-running Fourth of July celebration at Old City Park: The Historical Village of Dallas.  This year's theme is "Backyard Barbecue," featuring delicious barbecue prepared onsite by Texas barbecue specialist Eddie Deen.  Parking is free.  Tickets are $5 at the gate, or $12.50 for admission + Eddie Deen's barbeque buffet.




If you are interested in being a vendor, please contact:
 
Joseph Flipper                  or                Melissa Prycer

Intern at oldcitypark.org                        mprycer at oldcitypark.org


They have a small notice on their calendar:  http://www.oldcitypark.org/calendar.htm

I will be there with fiber workers, so if you want to knit or crochet or embroider or spin WITHOUT selling items, let me know.  Some of us will be in costume, but they have not required it for demo workers in the past.  They just ask that we work on things that are not glaringly out-of-period.  I used our last one to work on socks for a mother's day gift.

For those wondering how else I fill my time:  http://www.roverdramawerks.com/02_NowPlaying/02_NowPlaying.html

Though it is late and I am finally dragging my wet, bedraggled self home, we 
will have archery practice at 10 a.m. at Eastfield. I am not promising to be 
totally awake and/or chipper, but I will be there. Remember, it's Mother's 
Day so bring your mom. We will have a special running. Mom's get to shoot 
for free! (But then again, so does everybody else.)  Bring some fluids and 
sunscreen and see you there!

We finished the day's shooting just as the thunder began to rumble in the 
not too far distance. We had six archer's participate from all skill levels 
and abilities. In the end, it was Lord Kerrick who won the event, having 
snatched victory from Lord Corwin, who led by a considerable amount until 
the topsy turvey round did him in. Corwin and HL Katya shot their highest 
Royal Round scores to date with a 67 and 40 respectively.

My thanks to Katya for being my #1 helper, Corwin for helping with set up, 
take down, and providing lunch, Ingwulf and Zander for stringing safety tape 
through the woods, Lady Francesca for soothing frayed nerves, and to Lord 
Brendan and Lady Anne for remembering us with water, pickles, and oranges.

Thank you also to Lord Agilwulf, Lady Sunnifa, and the Canton of Lindenwood 
for the opportunity to put on this little competition.

Bring on Warlord!

In service to the dream, Steppes, and Ansteorra,

Linet Grey
Archery Marshall, Barony of the Steppes
