Hi there!
This will be my VERY first event, so I just have a few minor questions: (Okay, TWO)
1. I will definitely be there before 9:25pm, but how early is TOO early? I was thinking of leaving for Sparta right from work, meaning I'd get there at about 5:45~6pm. (I could go home first, but it's an hour in the other direction, so that seemed silly) I am more than willing to help with set-up if I can, but I don't want to be in the way if other people are doing important marshal/DM/plot/storytelling type stuff that I can't help with.
2. Exactly how much panic/terror/freaking out is appropriate for a bear sighting? If I happen to see The Bear, should I calmly leave the area and politely tell a marshal when he/she is not busy? Or would it be appropriate to yell "BEEEEEEEEEAAAAAARRRR! HOLY @#$@#$ EVERYONE, IT'S A @#$@#$ING BEAR!! CALMLY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY GET THE !@$$% OUT OF HERE AND CALL IN THE $%$%#@$%ing PARK RANGERS, IT'S A ^&*$%ING BEAR!!!!"? I am mostly a city/suburban denizen, and I don't really know the proper bear protocol. I assume that politely informing the bear: "Gee, I don't think the Ranger's gonna like THIS!" never works, ever.
That's pretty much it. I do mean both of those questions seriously, even though I'm incapable of asking them that way.
Thank you!

It's a cute lil ol' black bear, too, isn't it? Don't bother it, don't run from it, and you'll be fine. Just move away calmly, tell people, and seriously put food away proper.
And no matter how adorable they are, do not attempt to make friends. They might run, hug you, or decide you smell like tuna.

Hi there!
Okay, this has been all very helpful. I knew that when encountering a bear, you were supposed to 1) Not Run, 2) Alert Others, 3) If the Bear Looks Threatening, Make Noise and Try to Appear Big.
Adding those three factors together translated to: Walk Away Calmly While Screaming and Waving Your Arms. [nods]
And thanks for letting me know that I can be there early. :)

I ran across Mama and her two adolescent offspring last summer. Just clap your hands and talk really loud while calmly walking away. They'll run from you faster than you walk from them.
