style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The Canton of Sudentorre have been asked to add a
"renaissance aire" to the Courtland Elementary School's fall
festival/Carnival on Saturday, Oct. 14. This is a four hour event --
10 am to 2 pm. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Courtland Elementary is located on Smith Station
Road. If you take Courthouse Road (Route 208) heading towards
Spotsylvania Courthouse, five miles before you get to the courthouse, you
come up to a light. There is a Food Lion and a Hardy's on the left.
Turn left at that light and go about a half mile. Courtland
Elementary School is on your left. (Remember coming to KA&S
Festival? The school is located 5 miles before the
Courthouse)</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The carnival coordinator is looking for "performers"
such as jugglers (Siegfried McClure is going to teach juggling), musicians
to play, people to walk around in garb looking lovely,
etc...</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The Canton agreed to help out with their requests
and we volunteered to run two fundraising booths for them.
</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--The first one is taking a picture of children who
are dressed as a prince or princess. We are making a banner painting of
Edward IV and Elizabeth I of when they were children. The faces will
be cut out. For a price (everything will be in ticket form), you can
stick your head through and have your picture taken. It will look just as
if you are really in the picture...grin. The school will provide the
camera (Polaroid and film.)</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--The second booth is hat making. For a price
(again this ticket thingie), the kids can make a paper hat to wear for the
day. The school will provide the materials, we provide the guidance and
fun.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--If any of the heavy or rapier fighters would like to
come out and provide a short demo, let me know!! </SPAN></FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">You
will have a set time for your demo to take place and that
would be in the schedule of activities so people know when you will be
performing. --No more than maybe two half hour demos.
--</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">----I do have a rapier marshal and one rapier person who
is looking for one to three people to come out and
play. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Is there anyone out there who can talk to the crowd
about what the fighters are doing (other than trying to kill each other) and
explain different moves, pieces of equipment, etc? Sorry, there is no room
for an archery demo. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--If there is no interest in the fighting demo, would
anyone be interested in walking around in armor? You would be soooooo
popular when you dress in garb, put on your armor and helmet and just
walk around. I am sure you will be asked to have your picture taken
with children all around. We do require that this person be someone
who can write their own name other than an X. The kids will ask you for
an autograph.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--Voice Heralding -- any takers? I think having a
herald to open the Carnival and to call out various announcement through out the
event would really add to the excitement.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--I need people who will help teach the kids how to make
hats. This is an activity that should take about 10-15 minutes (maybe
less) per group to do. Several people need to work this area and I am told
this is a popular activity. I have several people lined up already, but it
never hurts to have a few more.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--I could use one or two more people to run the
camera booth. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">--Just come and walk around in spiffy
garb.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">This is a fundraiser for the school, but more
importantly, it is a day for the kids to come together and play games, get their
faces painted, picture taken, and win a few prizes.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The volunteers from the school are really excited about
this Renaissance theme and I would not be surprised if a few of them make
outfits to wear on this day. The art teacher for the school is making
large banners to display. I think the teachers will be making "tokens"
like the ones we get from our Barony for each of their classes to wear the
day of the event...Kinda like show your class
colors...grin.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
