Announcement: Upcoming Demo

Demo Sponsored by The Barony of Darkwater - Geek Fest 2018 

August 25th, 2018 8:00 am to 2:30 pm -- Astor Library, 54905 Alco Rd, Astor, FL 32102

Come craft and fight to support tiny Astor Library! In years past we were able to help pull it off the chopping block, win it a coveted spot in the queue for a new building, increase community interest in and patronage of the library. Come and see how much we can do this year.

Gates open at 8 am for set up, the actual event does not open until 9 am and closes at 2:30 pm. The library is looking for artisans, fighters, pavilions, craft demos and general ambiance.

Astor Library has requested a demo for their Geek Fest fundraiser on August 25th gates open from 9 am to 2:30 pm.

Astor Library, like many libraries, is in desperate need of funds. They are more than a library, they have become a community center where people come to do everything from applying for jobs and take computer classes to the traditional checking out books and movies.

This is the third year of this event and we would like to continue the great relationship with the coordinators we have built. Thanks to our past involvement and the support of the geek community patrons of Astor Library have been exposed to more exciting history, literature and STEM opportunities. We all helped the Geeky Librarian in her quest to make lifelong learning fun.

The Astor Library is turning to the geek community for help once again. Is there anyone who likes books more than geeks? No, I don't think there is. How can you help you ask?

You can help by coming out to Astor Library (54905 Alco Rd, Astor, FL 32102) Saturday, August 25th and bringing equipment like tables, chairs, crafts to demonstrate, static displays, armor, and weapons for fighting and even pavilions. We still can't do fire or archery, but everything else is on the yes please list.

I am compiling a list of what is already coming, who is presenting and fighting. If you are planning to support us as we support Astor Library please holler here and let me know what fabulous things you are bringing and planning to do so I can add you to the list.

Another way you can help is taking a moment to invite any of your friends to this event you think would like a chance to share the excitement of the SCA with the patrons of the Astor Geek Fest. The more the merrier and many hands make light work. So poke your buddy.

Lastly, the Friends of The Library are hosting a raffle and would be thrilled with the donation of some handmade items. I know a leather pouch and embroidered handkerchiefs are already on the list of items being donated.

If you have any questions please feel free to post or contact me.

Thanks for reading to the end,
