The two groups that were operating last year did this as a combined event and the feedback I got was that it was fantastic! Thanks, Genevieve and youth volunteers!
They came dressed up, had a dance with it as part of the entertainment, and had this document to help them both come dressed up and create their own family shield. (https://docs.google.com/file/d/16BqrljyLoHH8X71I4GmjYPzURDZKeJPUPLg1qqBjWDptZzlEwjYVl7xt9S-t/edit?usp=sharing)
"Thank you for signing up for food. We filled every assignment! Just
remember, we decided to provide spoons and napkins, but medieval feast
goers would have brought their own knives! Also, we will have plates
(sorry feast-planners, I have caved on this one...)
Also, any more entertainers? Please sign up below:
FOOD:
According
to my count we have 91 people attending (that's 15 families). We have
30 spots below to fill so if we each sign up for at least 2 food
assignments we should be alright.
