    I responded directly to Rachael Hoffenblum, and went over to the
    daycamp for about 2 hours. Took almost all my Western European garb,
    from Viking through Elizabethan; arrived dressed in sideless
    surcoat, showed the rest of the things. Passed around the pieces of
    the Elizabethan, which of course made them want me to put it on. So
    I used the sideless surcoat outfit as the shift, omitted the corset
    (for lack of time), and popped everything else on...  Also had a
    drop spindle and my lace pillow with me.<br>
    <br>
    There is a nine-men's morris board on line that I printed, together
    with the rules, and I made a grid of 48x48 Excel spreadsheet cells.
    Printed on two colors of paper, gave each girl a strip of each color
    and let them tear them apart for the tokens (a tiny plastic bag to
    take both colors home means they could play at home, too). Everybody
    learned, some even got as far as flying!<br>
    <br>
    Didn't get to the music I had brought on the iPad, but they are in a
    former car dealership and the acoustics are absolutely awful, so not
    too much loss.<br>
    <br>
    Thought it went over well for just me, and something I put together
    in just a couple of days.<br>

                              <div>A friend with whom I once worked is
                                now working for Girl Scouts Heart of
                                Michigan.  She has a camp (in Ypsilanti)
                                that is having a medieval-themed daycamp
                                next week and wondered if a group of
                                people could come out for a demo
                                (talking, teaching, or providing a craft
                                opportunity).  She requests Tue, Wed, or
                                Thu, but timing is flexible (it's a
                                day-camp, so like school-day hours). 
                                The camp is being held at the Ypsi
                                Regional Center (at 444 James L Hart
                                Pkwy).  I let her know that this is
                                extremely short notice, but I would ask
                                around anyway.  This doesn't have to be
                                a very big demo, from the sound of it;
                                just a few people should be fine.</div>
