Booth Decoration
It appears that booths were decorated and competitors wore costumes in previous years. We were thinking of a medieval theme for our booth given what we have on hand.
- Cauldron of chili (using smelting furnace and cast iron pot)
- Need a pot, something like this or a dutch oven with legs
- Do any of the members have something they can contribute
- Costumes
- Dragon Knight (Cameron-confirmerd)
- Wizard (John-confirmed)
- Wands from wand competition
Other Hacksburg themed decorations could include
