Favorite Volunteering Story

This page started out as a post on the Kingdom of Caid Facebook Page. Perizaad Yazadi (Volunteer coordinator for Great Western War 2015) asked, "Do you have a favorite volunteering story? Could be GWW, could be Potrero, could be anything! Share in the comments below!"

From Arianna Kateryn Nunneschild

I have two favorite stories, both from last year! 1) Sir Mons and his boy band loaded their instruments into his medieval wheelbarrow and schlepped out to Gate, so they could play a few rounds of rousing music for the gate crew. That was epic fun – at least, for us. We hope the gate crew felt similarly. 2) While I was volunteering at A&S, helping to keep an eye on the competition entries, somebody fed me cheese. Homemade cheese! It doesn't get much better than that! (Unless there is also homemade mead… A girl can dream, can't she?)

From Filipe de Trujillo

One GWW I was working the toll booth, I mean gate, with my girl. I started greeting people with lines from Wizard of OZ, Star Wars, Monty Python and other random gate keeper movies that popped into my head. We were having great fun, until I ran across a car driven by young kids that didn't understand why I was looking for droids. I was dumbstruck. My girl directed them to the troll tent while I tried to still processes the unthinkable. The next car was full of friend I hadn't seen for a while, and there was much squeeing and hugging.

The two hours passed quickly, and we had a lot of fun, and got invited to several camps to join in their festivities.
