[Moo] FW: Wakefield School Medieval Faire

[Shannon D. Combs-Bennett]

Greetings!

 

We have once again been asked to Participate in the Wakefield School
Medieval Faire; below is the email from Andrew Clubb, the coordinator
for the demo with more details.  So you can judge distance, Wakefield is
off of I-66 at exit 31.  The demo will be Thursday May 28th starting at
2pm, and feast will end at 6pm. You do not have to stay for feast, and
if I remember correctly I was packed up by 4pm last year.  If you can
come please let me know as I am coordinating activities on our end.

 

Actives we are in need of/confirmed:

Thus far I know Flaithri and I will be there, and will do a rapier demo.


Andrew has specifically asked if we can have a heavy demo, because you
know kids are blood thirsty.  

A&S display with a hands on component to draw the kids in and let them
try it out.

Cheerful friendly people to answer questions and mingle with the kids.

 

Yours,

Baroness Rhonwen

Dear Shannon,

 

I trust that this email finds you well. Our Medieval Faire will begin at
2pm on Thursday, 28th May. It will run until 6pm. It will follow a
timetable very similar to last year's event. We will begin with an
opening address by a dignitary of some sort (usually our headmaster). We
will then send our 3rd grade and 6th grade students off on a scavenger
hunt around the school. We will then have everyone gather in the side
gardens where we were located last year. The upper level will have side
stalls set up that will be run by 8th grade students. There will also
probably be an egg and spoon race. 

 

Once the children have managed to run off a bit of energy, we'll have
them sit down and then you and your colleagues can begin your section of
the afternoon. Two years ago, you managed to have a demonstration of
weapons fighting as well as arts and crafts. Would it be possible for
you to arrange for the weapons demonstration again? Also, the kind of
program that you put together last year goes down very well. I
anticipate that we would be ready for you to begin your portion of the
event around about 2:45 pm to 3pm.

 

At about 3:45pm to 4pm we will transfer inside to the lower gymnasium.
In here the students will be fed a medieval feast by Wakefield parents.
They will also be entertained in a performance of a play about the life
of Joan of Arc. Then we will award prizes, clean up and then dismiss by
6pm.

 

You and your colleagues are very welcome to stay and partake of the
feast if you are able.

 

Does the above sound reasonable to you?

 

Please let me know your thoughts on the feasibility of this plan. Once I
have some input from you, I can begin to refine it some more.

 

Thank you for your willingness to come to Wakefield. The participation
of you and your fellow SCA members contributes an important and enduring
impression upon the minds of our young charges, as we endeavor to create
for them, in one brief afternoon, some semblance of life in a medieval
village.

 

Sincerely,

 

Andrew
