some of the populace may retreat from the sun from time to time. I believe this will give greater joy, health and well-being to everyone on the range. That will, in turn, encourage more archers and marshals to come to the range. Sadly, the Pennsic Archery budget does not allow for that this year, or likely for years to come. To that end…</span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;" class="yiv37431701MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: ">I have a request or challenge (whichever give me greater results!) for the mightiest archery communities at Pennsic. I challenge each of you to provide a small sunshade to be given to Pennsic Archery for use by marshals and populace. If it pleases your people to decorate the sunshade, their efforts would be most welcome.</span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;" class="yiv37431701MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: ">By small, I think something along the lines of 10 x 10 or 12 x 12 or so would be best. A mundane sunshade would probably be easiest. We would only need a top for the sunshade, walls would be unnecessary. You are welcomed and encouraged to decorate the sunshade in any SCA appropriate way you like, though decorations aren’t necessary.</span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;" class="yiv37431701MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: ">I will personally provide extra heavy duty stakes for the sunshades. I suspect these sunshades would be funded by individuals rather than from your Kingdom's coffers. If the archers of your kingdom wish to fund the sunshade via a bake sale, I will happily purchase $5 worth of cookies. But, since shipping cookies would be bothersome, please give my cookies your archery marshals as a thank you for their hard work.</span></div>
