[SCA-Dance] Maypole

[Tom Vincent]

Thanks for pointing that out!  As it turns out, that price was just for the ring & ribbons, as you said.
   
  I found the FULL set, with base & poles for $125.

  Not trying to add hard feelings, but I would contact the company before
ordering one. If I'm reading it correctly, that price is not for the
everything pictured. It states "For use with BLUE SPORT Poles and Bases.",
which implies that all you get for $84.95 is the top ring and the ribbons.

On a separate note, the information is much appreciated and it might just
spark up a bit of conversation. Anyone planning on setting up a maypole?.

over $100, and that wouldn't even be very sturdy. Building an
indoor/outdoor base would be pricey, too. Thanks for trying to make me feel
bad for sharing, though.
