[MR] Frederick Celtic Festival - May 12

[GREG FABIC]

Greetings to all!

On Saturday, May 12th, the Barony of Highland Foorde
has been invited to do a demo at the Frederick Celtic
Festival (http://www.sasmm.com/celtic_festival.htm). 
 
We will be having:
- heavy fighting (possibly barrier or round robin
and/or bear pit) 
-A&S (inkle loom weaving, harping, bladesmithing) 
-court (the Baron and Baroness will give out the
athletic prizes)
-recruiting table

We could use more fighters, a few dancers, a rapier
marshal (we have willing rapier fighters), another
weaver(small wares) and a field herald or two.

Anyone who comes will have a job to do, since we can
use attendants for the fighters and 'docents' for the
spectators.

Benefits:
Free entry to the festival
Seeing IONA in concert for free
Public notice for the SCA and goodwill

Notes:
This is a high profile event with up to 3000 people
attending. The emphasis is on Celtic, but as long as
you have a PLAUSIBLE explanation of how you may have
crossed paths with the Celts, other persona will be
accepted. Leave modern items at home or be prepared to
stow them out of sight. All cars must be off the
grounds before the gates open to the public at 10 AM. 
If you would like to come, please e-mail
(gfabic at prodigy.net) me by Saturday, May 5th, so that
I can get you on the 'will call' list at the gate.
**Please put 'Celtic fest' in the subject line.**

In Service to the Dream,
Livia
PS- My apologies to Bright Hills and Sudentorre, but
the date is carved in stone.
