OKAY!! It's time for the annual Faire writeup!!


The Crown Province of Ostgardr is invited to participate in the annual 
Huntington Renaissance Faire at the Unitarian Fellowship in Huntington, Long 
Island.

The fair generally starts at 10 and goes until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday of 
Memorial Day Weekend (this year it's May 26 and 27)

The fair is is open to the public  and we play a small but important part by 
providing demos and color, as well as fighting (and if we have a marshall and 
interested people:sometimes we have fencing).

 The annual Ostgardr Champions Tourney will be held on Saturday. The battle 
for the Viceroys Jewels will be held on Sunday. A chance for pickups and 
general smoozing with the public is always available and encouraged.

 All fighters and artisans will be most heartily welcomed. Those who plan to 
attend as performers (fighters,fencers,artisans) and helpers can get into the 
Faire without paying the usual entrance fee, but you have to be there about 
an hour before the official opening time. 

 Those wishing to dwell under the great green and white tent of Ostgardr are 
asked to provide a demo for the public. We often have weaving, heraldry, 
cooking, embroidery, and calligraphy. Other ideas include arrow making and 
music.

All scadians are reminded that they represent the SCA and are encouraged to 
act in an approriate manner while dealing with the fair-goers. Those who plan 
to stay overnight are asked to remove their tents at no later than 8:30 AM on 
Sunday morning and register with me before that evening.

If you wish further information or wish to volunteer your talents, please
