Well, they do have new official dates up so we are likely to day trip at least one weekend. Their opening is Labor Day weekend but the website and Facebook page is vague on wether they will be open Monday or not.

I know its a ways off but is anyone here on the forum going to this faire this year?

That's a plan! Have to wait and see how things come together or not as it gets closer, but it's looked forward to.

September 18th - October 3rd are the dates for Middlefaire 2010 (per the website)

Sept 18 sounds a lot better. It's less likely to be 100 degrees.

LOL yeah only 97 or so.

Good day to all. Just wanted to pass on that we're having a casting call at Middlefaire next Saturday, June 19. We're looking for people to volunteer to be on cast. I think the aim is to begin the casting call around 11am, and it'll go until whenever we're done.

We're also planning on running a large scale Live Action Role Playing game event on the weekend of our fantasy festival in November. It'll be a battle between the primitive cultures (barbarians, viking berserkers, orcs, etc.) and the civilized cultures. [Please note, that it is a fantasy themed event, so we are more on the popular stereotypes for the various cultures and less on the historical accuracy side of things (although we won't stop someone who wants to participate as a historically accurate character from participating!)].

I have heard scuttlebutt that a new singing duo will be debuting the first 2 weekends of Middlefaire this year.  I have it on good authority that they be running under the name "The Shanty Lasses."  Fellow pirates report that this elusive pair could be doppelgangers for Diamond and m'self!   Keep a weather eye for this singing duo, no telling what they might be up to.

Ok
July 4 is over and I'm starting to get the faire bug.
I still think Sept 18 is too hot.
So we may be waiting until one of the two following weekends.

[SandrineDeLaTombe]

I'm going to try to be out on the 2nd or 3rd. Very excited, just today I was being told great things about this Faire.

We should be there opening weekend.  I need a leather bodice & I'm hoping the vendor that has been there in the past selling them will be there.  

[BagPipeBabe]

My husband and I will be there on opening day. I haven't been to middlefair in 3
years so I am looking forward to it.

I've just been sscheduled to do two shows a day the first weekend!  Come see "The Pirate Laureate" at the Jack Tar Tavern and hear poetic tales of the sea, the life of a pirate, and other interesting and fantastic tales!  And, if ye like what ye hear, drop by the Pirate Fort and purchase a copy of the books that contain these imaginative seafaring tales!
