The Day in the Park demo is this Saturday, April 17, from 10:00 to 2:00. It's hosted by the Isle of Wight Parks and Rec department at Carrollton Nike Park (click for turn-by-turn directions). Volunteers are needed to help show off our sport by fencing, answering questions, helping people whack each other with foam sabers, possibly fencing cows, and -- of course -- looking awesome. If you can only be there for part of the time, not all four hours, that's okay. I don't know exactly where we'll be so come in the main park entrance and just cruise 'til you find us! They loved us last year so let's wow them all over again!
