  13. Can I have a few mundanes show up on site for my wedding/handfasting/feast celebrating my life? — The Official SCA answer is: no, they have to pay gate.
  14. Now that marijuana is legal in Oregon, can I bring some to the event? — “As of July 1, 2015, recreational marijuana became legal in Oregon. There are limits to the law; marijuana is not allowed to be consumed in a public place. Measure 91 defines a public place as a general place where the public has access. This includes all special events with OLCC licenses.” The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., is a national organization. We are able to rent this site and obtain the insurance coverage only because we are part of the SCA. We must abide by SCA policy which does not allow any marijuana or other federally controlled substances at SCA sanctioned events. So, no medical or recreational marijuana of any kind at the event.
  15. Can I bring my cannon? — No, it is against SCA bylaws.
  16. I want to run a fundraiser for ______. What do I do? As fundraisers are a sales-type activity, they are grouped with merchants but but receive a free “booth space.” Please contact the Merchant Coordinator for further details.
  17. Can we have a brewery/meadery booth in the merchant area? — The short answer is No: SCA FAQ states: According to the Corporate Policies of the SCA Inc., section VIII: “Manufacturing, distributing, selling, serving, or furnishing of alcoholic beverages by the SCA or its branches or subdivisions is prohibited within the United States and its territories. The use of any SCA funds for the purchase of potable alcohol, except for such quantities as may be necessary for cooking, is prohibited in the United States and its territories.” Therefore, alcohol may not be provided by the SCA, whether for sale or for free. SCA funds may not be used to purchase alcohol. Officers may not serve alcohol as officers — if they are serving alcohol, it is as individuals and not as representatives of the SCA. Cash bars operated by outsides parties are fine, as long as they are operated in accordance with the site’s rules (this is usually not an issue, as cash bars are generally operated by the site owners). Individuals are welcome to bring alcohol to events and serve it as individuals to whomever they please, as long as any and all rules imposed by the site regarding alcohol are followed. in all cases the real-world laws regarding alcohol must be adhered to.
    Also, in A Guide to Introduce Our Organization to Site Owners and Managers for Potential Use of Facilities by the SCA, it specifies “Merchants (for the sale of period goods and supplies; no alcohol)”.
    In regards to alcohol, events, and money, Oregon Law states: A liquor license is needed at special events where: Alcohol will be sold. Alcohol is available (but not being sold), and you are charging or accepting donations of for admission, or where payment is required to attend the event. A liquor license is not needed at special events where: You are making alcohol available, but there is no payment or purchase required, and no donations of money are accepted, for alcohol, or for entry/admission, or for any other product or service. An example is a wedding reception where you make alcohol available, but you don’t require payment or purchase and don’t accept donations of money.”
    The event does not have a liquor license, nor does the event insurance allow for it, so no money can be exchanged in any form on site for alcohol.
