WHERE
We have been assigned Booth #70, which is near the food trucks in a shady corner of Legislative Mall, Dover, DE (at the corner of Federal Street and MLK Jr. Blvd adjacent to the food trucks).

WHAT TO BRING
Demo Autocrat Lord Malcolm plans to bring a few pop-ups to provide shade and we’ll have a pop-up, table and two chairs for the A&S demos.  Everyone should plan to bring their own seating, small tables for displaying weapons and armor, drinks, snacks and whatever else might be needed to be comfortable.  The event is free to attend and there’s plenty of free parking.
