Daniel Kretchmar just told me that collection was a hit at the SCA event
in Black River Falls, WI. Seen by over 1500 people. In fact it was so
well received that he'd like to take it again next year.  Before I add
it to the schedule, is there anyone out there that is planning to have
the display at their event next year in mid July and hasn't gotten
around to telling me?  If I don't hear anything in a week, I'll add the
SCA event to the schedule for next year. 

Lots have signed up to make the remaining items.  Some from the original
effort, but to date only 1 additional item has been added to the
collection.  
Can all who signed up give me an idea when they might complete their
items?  If you've decided not to make an item, just let me know.  I'll
simply remove your name so that others can sign up to make it, no
questions asked.
