Wondering if anyone would be interested to help organize a bonfire for Guy Fawkes Night on November the 5th?

I would like to plan a night to celebrate Guy Fawkes night. This event is much more prominent in England but is also celebrated in other commenwealth countries such as New Zeland, Austrailia and Canada.

Who is Guy Fawkes and what is Guy Fawkes Night?

"Catholic dissident Guy Fawkes and 12 co-conspirators spent months planning to blow up King James I of England during the opening of Parliament on November 5, 1605. But their assassination attempt was foiled the night before when Fawkes was discovered lurking in a cellar below the House of Lords next to 36 barrels of gunpowder. Londoners immediately began lighting bonfires in celebration that the plot had failed, and a few months later Parliament declared November 5 a public day of thanksgiving. Guy Fawkes Day, also known as Bonfire Night, has been around in one form or another ever since. Though originally anti-Catholic in tone, in recent times it has served mainly as an excuse to watch fireworks, make bonfires, drink mulled wine and burn Guy Fawkes effigies (along with the effigies of current politicians and celebrities)."

What is needed for this night?

Some ideas

- A place for a bonfire

-Live music

-Fireworks

-Fire performances

-Information station about the history of guy fawkes

-Maybe an effigie of Guy Fawkes (Probably not a good idea if kids are around.)

 

If you anyone could participate or have suggestions on where we could host this let me know! I've planned a night like this before and it was a blast and I would love to do it again. All in all it's just a good reason to get together and have a bonfire!
