[MR] Seeking Fighters, Volunteers, and/or Sponsors for the Known World Children's Fete - Pennsic 40

[Emeludt Hänsler (Emmie Smith)]

Greetings! (please feel free to cross post this missive)

We are seeking the help of fighters, volunteers, and/or activity
sponsors for this years Known World Children's Fete at Pennsic. The
Fete will be on August 10, 2011 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Barn. Can
you sing a song, dance a jig, fight with a foam sword, paint a face,
smile and laugh a lot, color a picture, have fun or any sort of other
activities? Then we could use you.

We are truly in need of individuals or groups that can offer their
time to run and/or sponsor activities (arts and crafts, games,
dancing, supplies, prizes, etc.). Some of the popular activities are:

•       Face painting
•       Foam sword play
•       Storytellers
•       Jugglers
•       Puppeteers

We are also looking for volunteers to:

•       Assist with the sign-in for the children.
•       Persons to help ensure the other volunteers and fighters at
the foam sword play are getting water and other refreshments
•       Fete security to ensure registration/sign-in and safety.
•       Assistance with set-up and/or break-down.

We REALLY, REALLY need fighters to rotate in/out and assist with the
foam sword fighting with the kids!  I can honestly say the kids got a
huge kick out of “beating” his Majesty of Caid last year and it would
be wonderful to see more of our fighters come out and just offer a few
minutes of time to put a smile on the face of a young child.

You do not have to be there for the entire 3 hours... but any help you
may offer would be greatly appreciated. Last year we had approx. 400
children in attendance, and we expected higher numbers this year for
Pennsic 40! The Fete is great fun. If you want action and excitement,
this is the place for you!

If you cannot physically volunteer at the Fete but you, your
household, Barony or local group would still like to help in some
way... maybe sponsoring an activity will be the best way for you to
assist us in having a wonderful Fete.

Please continue to encourage and promote participation in the
Children's Fete! If you will be at Pennsic, but you had not previously
volunteered with the Children's Fete this year, we are asking you to
please reconsider. We would love to show the support of all Atlantians
- and SCAdians as a whole, at the fete this year.

Thank you for your time, effort and consideration in this matter and
the fete as a whole! Please contact me offline if you are interested
in volunteering or sponsoring and activity please contact me at:
