[SCA-BMDL] Niche events or "Why is Purim so popular?"

[Raven]

Hi,

Cassandra and I were talking last night about Purim
and curious about why this small niche event is sold
out.  What's even more curious is the exceptional
number of non-Jews who are coming.  Something similar
happened with the Vetr Things and Mongol events,
supposedly small niche events that had lots of
non-target event goers show up. 

[Disclaimer: This is very much NOT A BAD THING just
extremely odd from the autocrat's point of view.]

So why is this happening? Why do you (non-Jews with
Purim, non-Viking types with the Vetr Things,
non-Mongols with the Mongol event) come to these
events? What makes them more/less/differently
attractive then a standard SCA event with fencing,
fighting, thrown weapon, A&S display and sit down
feasts

As if those aren't enough questions, what kind of
events would you like to see in this barony and why?
