Think about the weather in your area. Plan out how you will educate people. This handbook contained articles researched not only by the event organizers, but by members of the canton who were interested in writing on a specific topic. Articles on history, religion, names, weapons, dance, transportation, costume, games, music, and social interactions, to name just a few, were included. A full bibliography was included so that people interested in doing research on their own could pursue it.
