Do Faires need Rennies?

[brier patch charlie]

Well, here is my two shiellings worth, A faire needs playtons/rennies as much as it needs the mundanes/ paytrons. How ever the rennies are the soul of the faire, and with out it's soul it is dead. The rennies bring life to the faire, they spend money, they buy things that the paytrons most of the time are not going to shell out the money for like that 600 dollar buffalo rug, or 300 dollar leather corset. And sometimes look better then the cast and be mistaken by both cast and mundanes.  No, your mundane is there to have entertainment,to eat, drink ,and watch a few shows and buy some little shiny things and go home at the end of the day. The rennies will be there from the time the cannon fires in the morning, and the gates open and all the way till closing. They will camp out in all kinds of weather and even walk about in foul weather to support "THIER HOME FAIRE", Were by the mundanes will not even think about leaving the house and going to the faire. So can a faire get by with out rennies, it could, but you don't a renaissance faire, all you got is an over priced amusement park!
