***!!!! UPDATE PRIDE HAS MOVED TO THE CLUB IN WASHBURN!!!***

Demo at Chequamegon Pride
Saturday August 16th
Bayview Park, 12 to 4

We will have a space to display an assortment of what we do. Based off of what we had at Bay Days, it would be a wonderful addition to have some more garb and fiber arts on display, possibly a dress form or mannequin if anyone has some to loan.
Garb is not required but encouraged. There will be no fighting but feel free to wear armor as well.

Planning for a info table at Chequamegon Pride on Aug 16th.

Looking to set up next to Eli Arcand who will be vending at the event.

JULY MEETING
THURSDAY JULY 31 2025
6PM at Play Unplugged
it's still July and I wanted to hold a meeting to greet any new members who saw us at Bay Days and plan new things with them.
6pm gather and greet and short business meeting following.

07/20/2025

We have been invited to have a booth at Chequamegon Pride on August 16th and Harvest Fest on Oct 18th.
I believe both of these events would be a good way of engaging with the community and following up on the Bay Days Demo.
I know the Aug 16th date is going to be rough as it lands on a date with several other things such as Poor Man's and Excalibur con in Duluth. It would be from 12 to 4 at Bayview Park. I'm not sure if we would be able to have enough to do a fighting demo but if we could get 3-4 people who could set up a booth that would be great. Who would be able to help with that?

07/20/2025

What a great demo at Bay days yesterday. I would like to thank Antolin, Nicol, Lyle, Rebecca, Moira, Chris, Emilee, and Tori for helping make it happen.
We had 11 people leave contact information and lots of people took ours. We also received invitations to have a presence at Ashland Pride, and Harvest Fest.
I would like to hold a meeting on the 31st to discuss these potential demos and to meet new people interested in our Shire.

Yours in service

Bay Days Demo

I talked with Joe from Play Unplugged and he is excited to have us hold a demo in front of his store during Bay Days.
Currently I'm just planning on Saturday the 19th of July, but if we have enough people to do Friday and Saturday it could be possible.
Space available is going to be from the storefront to the centerline of Main Street. This should give us enough space to have two tables a pop-up and a small list field while still giving Joe a space to use for his store.
I'm looking at starting at 8 or 9am and going until 4pm, with some fighting scheduled based on who is going to be there.

I'll be creating an event to do the planning soon.
