  Hello All,

  First of all, thanks for all your kind words about the use of the farm for 
  Uprising.  Understand that I grew up there, and mostly the fields were work. 
  Lots and lots of work, my whole life.  To see those same fields transformed 
  into a medieval village for a few days was amazing!  On Friday my Mom came 
  down and we drove the Uprising roads, looking at the camps, and all the work 
  that the Barony (and Corisande and Roland and I) had done to get the place 
  ready.  Mom was quite amused, and happy to see the land put to good use.

  I've been watering the former camping areas, and they'll be returning to 
  normal condition very shortly.  The grass may even get taller....

  I'm happy to report that the SCA treated the property very well, and there 
  was no significant damage that I could find.  Now the porta-potty guys 
  picking up their "stuff" on Monday were a slightly different story, but no 
  big deal.

  So, on to the header.  Last night a friend of mine called and said that the 
  local paper, the Shelley Pioneer, did a story on Uprising.  I picked up a 
  copy and we made the front page.  I'm REALLY happy to say that Media Officer 
  (Robert Bedlam, I'm talking about you) did a dynamite job guiding the press 
  around, as the story is very good, stuck with the SCA, Inc. media package, 
  and put our organization in the best light possible.  I read that with a 
  sigh of relief I can tell you!

  So, please keep your ideas floating around out there.  Uprising next year 
  will be better, the site better, and the fighting fields better.  A good 
  time will be had.  No promises on the weather however.....sorry.

  YIS,

  Alan
