Come Home site layout as a model, there is plenty of space for all of the
activities we have planned. The dining
hall is a bit small to have everyone on site in it. We may want to consider using a tent. Figuring out an optimal parking layout will
be a thing we need to do. Once the snow
melts we can go out there and take some measurements. Cell service is spotty, we will want to use
radios. The site is perfect in most
ways!<span></span></p>

a non-profit in Ypsi called Growing Hope, they have a building next to the Ypsi
farmer’s market site that is big enough for fighting. It is currently undergoing renovations. Preliminary pricing is $50 / hr while under
construction. $100 / hr while under
construction (Thursday nights). This
might be possible at $50 / hr, but $100 is just too much. Can we do something else instead? It is common for other SCA groups to combine
activities, fighting, A&S, business meeting could all happen at one place. Do they have storage space we could use? What about a space at EMU? Should we pursue trying to negotiate with
Growing Hope? What about other
sites? Cavalry Baptist Church ecorse in
YPsi (near the cow). St Thomas in Ann
