Catherine,
I'll try to answer a couple of those  questions (Catalina has been
busy lately and hasn't had the opportunity to  answer yet).

1.  Merchanting is available.  But they need to  contact Catalina.  No
one has contacted her yet.

2.  There  are long tables in the little hall as I remember (though I
can't remember  exactly how many (at least more than five or six
though).  Dinner is  supposed to be a picnic-style potluck so there
will be a need for a table  or two for serving depending on how many
potluck dishes there will  be.  But there are picnic tables for seating
while eating.  But  you should have a couple of tables at your disposal.

3.  The  A&S performance entries - I will suggest that they could be
done after  the fighting and before dinner?  The fighting scenario at
least for  rapier is going to be a meet and greet and isn't expected to
last into the  late afternoon or anything.  But it's really up to
whenever you want  to do it.

As for Saturday morning...I'm just guessing here (Catalina  will need
to confirm) but troll would reopen at around 0930 with  armor
inspections and authorizations beginning at 1100 or so and run  till
noon.  And then the tourneys will start shortly after  authorizations.

4.  Anyone reading this please remember...
LAID  BACK IS THE UNDERLYING THEME OF THIS EVENT.  The concept for  this
event grew out of it being a little bit more than a Pennsic Pity  Party
bar-b-que.  So it's going to be a laid back affair.  No  need for pomp
and circumstance and a great deal of pageantry (thought a  little
pageantry is still good).

5.  *****VERY IMPORTANT  DEVELOPMENT FOR FRIDAY*****

We were notified that the girl scouts are  conducting a day camp and
Friday is the last day.  It turns out that  we can not get on site
until after the girl scouts have all been picked up  by their parents.
That may be as late as 4:00pm.  Right  now we plan to have
everything together and be ready to offload and setup  as soon as the
last child leaves.  PLEASE BE FLEXIBLE IF YOU PLAN TO  ARRIVE ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.  We have to play this one by ear.

I  hope this answers your questions.
