Claude is still not great at asking for help... but he certainly won't turn it down if it's offered. It's a good thing he enjoys the planning, because there's a lot of it to be done!

Some sweet-talking nets him the Oak & Iron's kitchens to work out of, which are both larger and closer to the Festival Green than what his apartment above the Apothecary can provide. This also provides opportunity for anyone willing to help to run into him during his cooking endeavors. Maybe stop him from getting too far off course with the recipes. Or enable him into doing so instead.

The tables, chairs, and pavilion-style tents are supplied by Town Hall, and while Claude certainly can carry them out to the Green on his own one at a time, any offered help will be enthusiastically agreed to. Once those are set up, there are of course tons of food and drinks to bring out, a bonfire to set up for, he has to get the band situated... plenty to do before he can relax and stuff himself silly with food!
