[Ponte Alto] Upcomming demos for July

[Sorcha de Glys]

James,

    I'd love to come to the demos!  It's been a while since I've been 
able to get to one.  Maybe even Regan (age 4) can come to help pass 
things around/collect items, if that's ok with you.  In fact, I can't 
guarantee it, but perhaps Sir Andrew will make it a family affair and 
come too. 

    I will bring my baskets of "medieval items" for hands on 
experience.  If you've not seen them, they have anything from belts to 
chess pieces to mugs to shoes.  Please tell me if I should NOT bring the 
sword.

Thank you for your work on this - and thanks for getting it on a SUNDAY!
