Heilsa,

End of month - Fright Night Coming
Candy and other goodies needing to be gather
How ready will you be?

Please start drinking extra water several days prior to the day
of practice.
This is also true of going to an event, be it SCA related or not.
You will have a better time and enjoy yourself more
if you are hydrate before you start your activity.

Energy drinks may give you a lift, but will not carry you as far,
  when compared to water and gatorade.

Remember - Pace yourself!

Although October is here and soon that of
November and December, etc... Everyone needs to bring
water to the park. I would recommend the following:

Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade
 to replenish your energy levels if you are in armor and fighting.
Suggested of items you might wish to bring out:
- cold pickles
- oranges - energy bars - etc...
- Bring Chairs for you to sit upon.
- Sunscreen
- Hats
- Sun pavilions can be set up
