A Message from Dave

Hi Everybody!

I hope everyone is rested and enjoying their summer after a wonderful 2010 NEPF-

We have just been asked to do a pirate event at PioneerVillage:Salem 1630 on July 24 and 25 and i wanted to see who among our Pastimers would like to join us for the event - it is a fundraiser for the Pioneer Village:Salem 1630-, which was the very first living history museum in the country -think a small version of Plimoth Plantation - it has had a rather checkered history- of neglect ,some vandalism,various management trying to make it work and not- It was recently taken over by History Alive! from Gordon College and they attempting to bring the village back to full life -restoring and repairing buildings,etc.

I'm writing to you in regards to an event going up on July 24 and 25- called Pillage the Village-Pirates Invade Salem! - a fundraiser for Salem :1630- the first living history museum in the country-
this will require minimal rehearsal - three outlined scenario scenes - basically attack on the town, depredations of the pirates,and final rebellion/battle- this will also include several interactive scenes- Join the pirate crew,secret heroes' meeting , raising the jolly roger over salem etc. i would also love to do music for this show -we can utilize the songs we learned at NEPF - we will have a few vendors , and a gorgeous set to work on! I am also looking for black powder demos - if you have or know someone who could do that it would great. Music,swordfighting,interactive scenes - what more could you ask for?

I am planning a meeting at Paul's house on Weds. of next week at 7:30pm- and probably one more after that the next weds-July 21 at the same time

for more info on the event go to the pastimes website

So ,my brave lads and lasses ,who would like to join our crew?

Thanks!

Dave
