[Steppes] Homeschool Demo Directions

[William Meriic]

Oh yes, the boot moose will be there.  I have arranged transport and caging.

Also, I am putting together an SCA scavenger hunt.  The hunt will consist of
a couple of dozen questions geared towards forcing people to come up and ask
questions.  Ideally those who complete it will have a very well rounded
understanding of the SCA and will have had a wide variety of wonderful
conversations.

If you are planning on being at the demo and will be demonstrating
something, teaching something, working with a group (e.g. fighters, fencers,
dancers), or just have something interesting you would like to share, please
send me a few questions you would like people to come up and ask.  If these
are questions that only you or your group would be able to answer, please
include a brief description so that the hunters can find you or your group.
Right now, most of my questions come from Ye Olde Knowne Worlde Handbooke
:-).  They are a little generic and probably not as exciting as we could
make them.

And finally, I am composing a resource page to hand out to our visitors.  On
it I am including links to local groups, upcoming events and websites that
people interested in the SCA can visit for more information.

For example I currently have SCA.org, Ansteorra.org, scademo.com, the SCA's
and Ansteorra's chatelaines' pages, and a link to the Florilegium.

If you have any other links or books that should be included, please send
them my way.

Thank you,

Will Meriic

Greetings Everyone!  The Homeschool Demo is 10 days away and we (the SAIL
homeschool group) are very excited to host you as our special guests to
learn about the SCA and medieval times.  We plan to feed you via a potluck
and will pester you with questions about your skills, talents, clothing and
everything else about the SCA.  I am confident you will enjoy meeting our
lively, inquisitive families!  We have 28 families RSVPed at this time, and
as always, there will be a few who missed the deadline who will be there as
well.

DATE:  Saturday March 29th

TIME: 8am - 5pm+ (Setup as early as 8am.  Homeschoolers will arrive around
10am. A revel to follow for anyone interested in hanging out..mostly SCA,
maybe some really interested homeschoolers too!)

LOCATION: Erwin Park, McKinney, TX

Directions from Dallas:  Please let me know if you need directions from
another location that you can't figure out yourself.  :)

I-75 north from Dallas to Hwy 380/University in McKinney.  West on 380 to
Lake Forest/FM1461 (there will be a brown sign indicating Erwin Park as well
as the Myers Event Center).  North on 1461 about 2 miles to Rd 162.  (Sign
for Erwin Park posted)  East on 162 until the road right before the road
turns to gravel (Again, an Erwin Park sign is posted).  Do not go on the
gravel road. Take a left and go North until you see another sign for Erwin
Park on your right.  Follow that in, following signs.  At the main T in the
road, go left.  (The road to the right ends 1/4 so there's a sign that says
that...don't go there.)  We are at the first pavilion on the left, by the
lake and stream, lots of picnic tables, etc.  There is parking there as well
as where you took a left.  Note: There is no parking on the grass...I don't
know how strict they are, but it is posted and there's a McKinney police
officer who lives in the area.

Please let Lady Elinor know if you will be joining us so the homeschoolers
can plan enough food.  :)

Lady Elinor is in charge of this demo.  Rebbe Hadassah is in charge of  the
classes, A&S displays and A&S demos.  Vyolante is organizing the rapier
fighters for a tournament.  If you have a skill to share or just want to
come and enjoy the day with us, please let Lady Elinor know.  I believe
there may be a Boot Moose for petting and feeding as well.  Anyone know for
sure?

Thanks!  I hope to see you at the demo!
