Greetings Fellow SCAdians,<br><br>It is time once again to turn our attentions to the National Zoo Demo.<br><br>Place: Great Meadows , National Zoo, 3001 Conn Ave NW , Washington DC<br><br>Time: Setup from 4pm to 6pm , Demo from 6pm -8:30pm<br>
<br>This is done as part of a kids' activity known as "Guppy Gala" <br><br>What do we would like to have there-<br><br>Fighters and a List Field - we have permission to demo combat this year as they were so impressed by us last year. We need fighters to do demo combat and answer questions. We will have Marshals available.<br>
<br>Pavillions - about six or seven tents would be great as we can drive up to the setup area (within 20'), larger tents are most welcome and very showy.<br><br>Meet and Greet - SCAdians to talk to older kids and parents about our hobby and to display their arts and garb. Warning: Your displays will be within reach of about 5,000 children. This is no joke. Take care to protect your stuff from wandering hands and don't bring anything that you will die over if it is touched.<br>
<br>Please, bring your banners and flashy stuff but leave your live steel at home. <br><br>We are planning the "Fire a Trebuchet" game fpr the kids so there will be a long line there. We can waylay the parents while they wait. Between that and the fighting we should draw a huge crowd like last year.<br>
<br>So, come forth and support the SCA in the Nation's Capital and see the beasts with 2 and 4 legs!<br><br>If you get to the Zoo from the Metro definitely take the Cleveland Park stop to save an uphill walk. When you get to the Zoo, call Syr Richard's cell (202-437-4586) (Our Autocrat) and we'll get someone to help you. At closing you should have no problem in getting a ride to the Metro.<br>
<br>If you drive, the entrance to the Zoo is on the NORTHBOUND side of Connecticut Ave. and crossing the traffic from the southbound side of Conn. Ave. is nearly impossible. Car pooling is encouraged. There will be Parking Permits available at our area that will allow for closer parking to where we are.<br>
<br>The Zoo will close between 4 and 4:30, but if you come in garb you should have no problem getting in. If you are bringing a vehicle to carry your gear, just identify yourself as being in the medieval village demo and they should let you in or call me on the radio for your clearance. The area we have will let us get vehicles within 50 ft of the setup area. We have a bigger area this year and there will be a list-field.<br>
<br>See you on June 12, and God speed!<br><br>-- <br>Rorik Fredericsson<br>Baron Storvik<br>cell 301-602-9497<br><br>
