Folks attending the festival are always very enthusiastic about our demos, and we always have a good time!

I'm going to make an attempt at organizing our demonstration attempts so we an avoid having 7 weavers like we did last year -- many of us are multi-talented and I'm sure we can present a well-rounded showing with a little pre-planning. If you're just not sure what you'd like to demonstrate, or would like some guidance, we'd love to have folks showing things like:</div> <div><br></div><div>- Food Then vs. Now (i.e., look at the difference between a store-bought baby carrot and a big, long carrot with it's greens still on and maybe even a bit dirty from the ground!)</div><div>- Armor - folks love to look and touch real armor, be it plate, mail, or leather</div> <div>- Costuming - While we're all wearing our garb, I'd still love to see someone bring more examples that a person could touch and feel, and perhaps illustrations of various time periods</div><div>- Archery - Bring the accoutrements so folks can see and touch it, maybe see how it feels to pull back a bow string</div> <div>- Illumination - Love to see some scribes at work!</div><div>- Weaving - Definitely want to see this, many people stopped to talk with us about it last year</div><div>- Games and Toys - Always popular</div><div><br></div> <div>These are just a few ideas, and there are many, many more things I just don't have room to mention. Last year I also saw wool carding, bobbin lace, Viking handicrafts, and more!</div><div><br></div><div>So if you plan to come for the day on July 14, or think you might be able to and just aren't sure yet, please drop me a line and let me know what you'd like to demonstrate. I will draw up a list and post it later to our mailing list.</div> <div><br></div><div>In the meantime, check out and share our page on the Saline Celtic Festival at <a href="http://cynnabar.org/saline-celtic-festival">http://cynnabar.org/saline-celtic-festival</a></div><div><br></div><div> For those of you unfamiliar with this great event, here's an article on last year's festival, complete with photos of Cynnabarbarians: <a href="http://www.annarbor.com/news/celtic-culture-and-entertainment-draw-crowds-to-saline-festival/">http://www.annarbor.com/news/celtic-culture-and-entertainment-draw-crowds-to-saline-festival/</a></div> <div><br></div><div>Thank you so much!</div><div><br></div><div>Genoveva</div><div>Cynnabar Chatelaine</div> _______________________________________________<br>Barony mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Barony@cynnabar.org">Barony@cynnabar.org</a><br>http://lists.cynnabar.org/listinfo/barony<br></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
