[Cynnabar] Saline Celtic Festival is This Weekend!

[Genoveva von Lübeck via Barony]

Good morning, Cynnabar!

The Saline Celtic Festival Demo is this Saturday, just a few days from now!
Thank you to everyone who has written to me or mentioned that you're
planning to attend. For those how haven't yet committed, we'd still love to
have you join and help us show the Festival visitors how great the SCA can
be!

FRIDAY: Friday evening will be our main set-up effort. We will be setting
up the list field, the archery area, the pavilion, and anything else. We
will be at the park about 6:00 pm and expect we will have most everything
finished by 8:30 or so. If you're helping us setup on Friday, you'll find
us at Mill Pond Park on Bennett Street in Saline. Here's a Google Maps link

We invite you to hang out as a group after the setup at the beverage tent
right on the Festival grounds!

SATURDAY: Anyone who needs to get their car into the park to drop stuff off
will need to be in by 8:00 am (I'll be onsite earlier) and out before 9:00
am. After this you will need to be able to get anything you need in on the
shuttle buses. If you are not bringing anything to set-up, you might have
luck parking in the nearby neighborhood and walking in (I did this the last
three years). When you do arrive, let people at the gate know that you are
with the SCA and they should let you in. If you arrive after the gate opens
and have issues getting in, please text me at 734-276-5721 and I will walk
over to the gate to help you. The festival is providing water, tables and
chairs, and we will have a large tub for ice in which to keep drinks cool.
The Barony is providing Gatorade and snacks for our fighters.

For those interested in walking in the Festival parade in the park, plan on
lining up at 10:30 am -- last year we lined up near the beverage tent, but
the location will vary. Opening ceremonies are at 11:00 am.

After the parade we will be back at our spot by the river and will start
our demo shows in the list at noon. Armored combat shows will last for
about 15 or 20 minutes and will occur at the top of the hour every hour
until 5 or 6. Demos in other arts and sciences will be ongoing throughout
the day as we all do them.

The day will end with us being able to bring in our cars to load back up.
Our section, the Living History Village, closes at 7:00 pm. If you see
merchants or other reenactors bringing in their vehicles prior to the time
we have given this does not mean that we can start getting our cars. We
will have spoken with the festival staff about this and we will abide by
their requests. :)
