Last night was the RESCU Rally on site.
For those of you who don't know, RESCU is a non profit that started up last year to help ren-folk with unexpected medical expenses. They try to hold rallies at every faire, and the money raised at one faire primarily goes to someone at that same faire, with any money left over going to the national level.
The rally last night was a (mostly) silent auction, bingo game, and Texas Hold 'Em tournement. (Some people got auctioned off as well - that was interesting.) I got a 24 oz Wondrous Works in Wood mug for $26 in the silent auction, and won a wooden trencher, knife, spoon, and two-tined fork in the bingo game, wooo! That was extra exciting because until that point, I hadn't gotten anything more than three in a row on any of my cards.
Ooh, I also got my butt sketched, by a professional butt-sketcher! Honestly, what will they think of next?
I threw down about $50 at the fundraiser, and all in all, Scarby raised six grand! Woo! That's only $1000 less than the AZ faire raised, and Scarby is *much* smaller. How cool is that?!
