[SCA] It Takes MY Child to Raze a Village, cont'd

[suba_al_hadid]

Just out of curiosity, because I think you folks have a terrific sense of humor, if you were running an event of this name, what sorts of activities would *you* plan? I'm giving it to you blank because I want to build on the idea. They've sent me a list of what they did, and I hope to add to it and share back.

Ideas?

Thanks!

There would have to be a "storming the castle" of some sort...

[bertana]

That's what I was thinking, too! Don't they do something like that at Pennsic, where the kids get to storm the castle with water balloons?

Seems like a great way to expose them to siege weapons!

[suba_al_hadid]

Most excellent!

I wonder if Harsthorn-Dale still has their Castle of Love ramparts...

[suba_al_hadid]

The original event has marshmellow catapults, which were apparently a big hit.

I know we [Bhakail] have some "Not-Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction" that we were very carefully Not Displaying at Yule...

I think we could definitely have some siege weapon fun. Thanks!

[alysten]

oooooh.... that gives me ideas... I have this catapult, table sized... mini marshmallows... this could be dangerous.

[suba_al_hadid]

Most excellent! (::rubs hands together gleefully::)

[alysten]

Yup. And they have a blast too (no pun intended). That might depend on the time of year too.

(Water balloons in the Autumn could be really really cold!)

[suba_al_hadid]

I'm sure we could come up with something... bags of flour or sugar, or bean bags, or something.

[suba_al_hadid]

Oh definitely. I answered Bertana that I think Hartshorn-Dale has their Castle of Love parts that we might be able to borrow. Hee!
