New to Sherwood

[rengypsy]

no cutting down trees, though for fire wood...there are lots of felled trees that can be cut up for said purpose.

Those pictures are beyond belief.  I cannot wait to see what the jousting is like this year.  My first year at SWFF seems to me like it will be awesome.

Sherwood Faire Rules:

• Visit as many shops as you can in one weekend, then visit them again
• Try a sampling from each food vendor without putting yourself into a food coma
• Dance with a faerie
• Flirt with a man in a kilt
• Don't drink so much during the day that you can't hang out at the fire at night
• Cringe when the meaning of "Full Contact Joust" is experienced with the thud of the first knight to hit the ground
• Enjoy the trees
• Reminisce in the Seven Sisters
• By all means, don't live by any rules and enjoy the magic

I think I might add a few of these onto my Bucket List. I just need to find a man in a kilt that will be flirty! LOL!!!

[PollyPoPo]

Hummmm.  Haven't seen many men in kilts who were not flirty.  They all seem to have that sly smile, just daring the girls.

This will be my first year to Sherwood as well and I am really excited to visit. Ive heard so many good things.

[Merlin the Elder]

If you are there for opening (in 4 weeks!), many of us are planning to be there.

[Lady Kaalyn]

I will not be at opening weekend  I wish I could but schedules do not allow. I will be there Feb 22-24.  This is my boyfriends 29th birthday, and what could be better than a birthday at faire?! 

[Lady Kaalyn]

Wow I feel so special, I made the Sherwood Crier. 

[Queen Bonnie]

 I will be there every day- with my overly familiar- cat in a kilt.. Do stop and give me greeting ask for a naughty nursery rhyme a limerick or riddle! Some actually suitable for children!
My Evil Pirate Twin might be there- she has free floggings- for a dollar.

All the above are very good suggestions.

Above all, come prepared for anything. Weather can change from Friday to Sunday.

In the Patron's campgrounds, there are usually various parties Friday night. Most are glad to allow folks outside the group to visit.

Bring toilet paper, as the port-a-potties may run out before they get serviced. Plus bring a flashlightfor those late night potty runs.

I tour the campgrounds during the day and early evening on my golf cart. If you have any specific questions or concerns, flag me down. Also, many folks have my cell #. I don't have an Internet connection during the weekend. Also, just before closing, I'll be at the Seven Sisters, getting the bonfire going. Other than that, I travel all over the Faire area, plus Patron's and Participant's campgrounds.

<off soapbox and scooting it into the corner>

Does it happens in every Friday? I am not been on the ground anytime.. But i will come this time and i will follow instructions. hehee..

For H. Leung,

The Sherwood Faire season is during February/March each year, held weekends.  There are other happenings, such as Celtic in the fall, children's summer camp, etc. as well as periodic Gatherings, something unique to Sherwood perhaps.  Seems like there is something new coming every year.

Check out their main website for more information.
