**********

Now that you have heard the promo for the Faire, Elvegast is looking for a
few good SCAdians to help out with the demo that we will be doing.  We have
3 times on Saturday and 3 times on Sunday to perform as well as space to
set up demos in the building of Yesteryear.  You can also set up games to
make money for your group.  We already have a group doing an archery shoot
for the kids on Saturday.  If you would like to set up a game please let us
know as soon a possible for space availability.  If you or your group would
like to do a demo such as weaving or spinning or the like and would like to
do it at a certain time let us know so we can put you on the schedule.  We
especially need dancers and fighters.  We would like to use the time we
have been allotted for either dancing or fighting, so we need all the
dancers and fighters we can get.  It has even been suggested that we have
Elvegast's fighter practice on Sunday to draw more fighters to the event.

If you would like to participate and would like more information please
contact me, Elspeth Macalpin at elspeth@ipass.net or Efenwealt Wystle
