Demos:
- Thu, 6-Sep at 7 pm. East Cuyahoga Geneoalogical Society is looking for a demo of an hour to an hour and a half about what we do. Eve is looking for artisans and fighters to display and discuss their activities: depending on space there may be actual fighting.
- Sat, 15-Sep and Sun, 16-Sep will be Mapleside Demo. Artair has created a Facebook event online that you can follow to see what’s going on. This demo requires fighters, fencers, displays, dancers, artisans, and people who can talk to a crowd. It leads very nicely into the Newcomer’s Open House at the following Dessert Revel.
Events:
- Sat, 22-Sep will be Standard Bearer’s at the Church of St William and Robert on E 260th street. Setup will be Saturday morning before the gate opens. Fighting and other activities will be downstairs, with an evening feast in the upper hall. Due to space restrictions, archery championships will need to be held elsewhere: date and location to be announced. .
