| 1. The basic tent is a fold up frame with top (10'x10'). These tents cost between $79.00 - $199.00 and will vary depending where you are located and the style you prefer. Most festivals allow only 10'x10' tents. Some allow larger. |
| 2. The Clan O'Brien banner on the tent was purchased from a sign and banner shop for $90.00 plus shipping. The PVC frame holding up the banner is 1" PVC. 10 bungee cords to attach the banner to the frame. |
| 3. A standard table 60" long ($39.00). Should have a cloth for color and displaying information. (Mine is red) A 48" table is used in the rear of the tent for extra books, etc. |
| 4. The map stand is made of PVC pipes. ($11.00). The map frame is a piece of 3/8" plywood with a 1" frame around the edge. The maps should be laminated for durability. Map is hung using 2 shower curtain hooks. |
5. Information items on the table should consist of a visitor sign in log, various Irish clan and family books for looking up information about all Irish families. A handout of your Membership form. Binders with printouts from your websites is also helpful. Additional books about your indivudual Clans should be available for further reseach. A list of basic informational books follow: Additional books that may be helpful with Irish Family history and research: Irish Pedigrees by O'Hart |
| 6. I have one Ireland tri-color and Munster flag, one U.S. and California flag. I also have an O'Brien Coat of Arms banner to display. |
| 7. A 'CLAN' name badge is very helpful. People recognize you and know you are there to help them. |
| 8. Remember, we are representing our Chief and all Dalcassians everywhere. We are also there to help all Irish in the pursuit of their understanding their Irish heritage. We should work closely with other Irish Clans and Societies in helping all Irish everywhere learn about their heritage.. |
