Us nobels also have a box at the joust field now, some shading for the audience there, some pub changes and many other good things. Remember folks, the year is 1347 in Medieval times and it is the year of the Plague historically. So I can't wait for all of you to come out and have some fun with us. Stop me and give a hearty hello.

Just an update folks.

Just a slight detour for people coming from the South due to a river there that had flooded but hasn't crested over the interstate. They are looking ahead to Thursday night when more rain is to come. Here is the current news, but remember, it is just a slight detour before Madison -

I-94 Westbound near Johnson Creek Closed Indefinitely
Drivers Detoured Because of High Water

WITI-TV, MADISON -- Interstate 94 westbound near Johnson Creek is being closed indefinitely due to water from the Rock River just inches away from the road.

State officials decided to close the westbound lanes as a precaution starting at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The river is not supposed to crest until Friday and more rain is in the forecast.

Only the westbound lanes are affected. The detour will take travelers off the interstate for about nine miles.

Drivers will exit at Highway 26 and return at Lake Mills.

Emergency Operations Center spokesman Mike Goetzman says eastbound lanes are higher and should not be affected by the closure. He says no other interstate lanes have been shut down yet due to the flooding, but a portion of I-94 near Highway 33 around Portage is being monitored.


Now, just a few other notes I just got. The faire is in great shape and depending on any other rain should be a great time. It is suppose to be a wonderful day on Saturday for sure and possibly rain Sun. The grounds is a lot of sand base so it drains better. Other things have been added to help this season as well.

The Pet Costume Contest is the third weekend which is Celtic Weekend. So, bring your pets i their favorite garb and get in the contest.

That is all for now

Opening weekend was fantastic. Weather was only in the mid 70's with a nice breeze, energy was hig and people were even staying till the end now. All the performers were giving it all. There is a lot going on with some new shops as well. The grounds were super, in spite of all the rain throughout the week and flooding in southers Wisconsin. Could not have asked for a better faire weekend. Now, with all the freeways pretty much open, more people should be coming out. Hope to see many of you there. I will have pictures posted soon from opening weekend.

Angelina and I made it out to WIRF yesterday - we had a BLAST!  Loved the site, did much shopping, played headgames with people who don't usually see us out of costume!  Got to hang out with Zilch and Lollie for quite a while, and in general were quite impressed with everything there.

Definitely recommending this as potential Dreg infestation area... ;D

We  have already discussed it.  Just think you can take over a whole 'nother state!  Carrots taste yummy with Leinie's or milk.   ;)

Hey John,

I saw the pic with you and Matt, is he back on cast?  I got an email from him the other day that he was back after his Guard training.

With fuel prices, we won't be up this year (though I love playing King Edward!)

Hey Lloyd,

  Glad to hear from you my friend. Yes, Matt is back as Lord Gower, having come back from his training or (the battle of Nevilles Cross). We are all in our places in court and he and I are for the same purposes but different means working together. Would be fantastic to see you there but i understand on the gas thing. many we have talked to are all car pooling. But it is cheaper up there too. The place has gotten bigger and i am now a shareholder. I love it... So, what are you up to? Taking it easy like you said or diging in? Send me your number via e-mail and i will call you. Be well.
