UPDATES on MTT 4/19-20; and Celtic Fest of So MD 4/26
April 19-20, 11 am-5 pm
Marching Through Time
Crews and volunteers are needed to display our faering boat, Gyrfalcon, and explain how the vessels of the Viking Age influenced history. (And what fun they are to go sailing in!)
I will be dropping off the Gyrfalcon on Thursday (afternoon or evening) and picking her up at the end of the event on Sunday.
Fred, Bill and Pam plan to be there to help out with interpreting the vessel, and several other people have expressed an interest. Participating Longship Company members and volunteers, in gear, are free, but Fred needs to know who’s planning on coming, and when.
Primary contact: Fred Blonder 301-390-4089 (Also Longship Company
hot-line)

IMPORTANT CHANGE
April 26, 2008
Celtic Festival of Southern Maryland
Due to logistic and fitting-out considerations (mostly brought on by the bad weather (Will February ever go away?) we WILL NOT be able to take our main ship, the Sæ Hrafn, to this event. We regret that this is necessary, but we’ve spent a lot of time trying to square things away in time to launch for this event in beastly conditions, and it just didn’t come together. HOWEVER; we will be bringing the Gyrfalcon for display, as well as the camp and the Y1K forge for demonstration purposes. This is the same combination that we used to win First Place in the Historic Camp category last year. We could also use some more military muscle and iron workers in our display; so please come if you can. We will be scouting landing beaches for next year and planning ahead for future seaborne events at Jefferson Patterson Park, perhaps later in the summer. The Sæ Hrafn will be launched later in May.
Primary contact: Adrian Krause 301-481-4329 (before 9:00 [21:00] please). He needs a crew list NO LATER THAN Wednesday, April 16th.
Hope to see y’all there!
