Poppies!

I spent yesterday with our SCA Barony, Dun Or, in Lancaster City Park for the Poppy Festival. Normally I sell quite a bit there. This year, not so much. Usually Saturday is busier than Sunday. I think I need to change the layout of the booth a bit to draw people over to it. We usually have a big table with armor on it but the armor is all in storage. :( I am demo'ing my lucet for folks and apologizing to regulars who want stuff I don't have becasue I have not been able to afford to restock. How frustrating. I need to wash my hair and head back out there ASAP, so need to sign off for now.Next year they are saying they will hold this festival at the Fairgrounds. I wonder if the SCA will come and do it again. Our space has gotten smaller and smaller each year, and it seems that not a lot of the Barony has come out to support the demo so far. We only have three pavilions and an eric. We used to have a lot more participation. But there's a demo in Long Beach the same weekend AND Pentathalon. Still, sales are way down this year.

They have a cool display of airplanes from Boeing and Northrup and a museum in Chico brought a gun turret! And there are dinosaurs on display too...
