we might have a smaller faire ground, but between all the acts we have, the cast productions, the different parts of the village and camps, and all the merchants we have will us, there will be no worry about not having enough to do.

its a laid back faire though. no real need to rush to get anywhere, (unless your on cast, then it seems I always need to be somewhere) and with a few exceptions, its very well shaded, so you can get quite comfortable sitting back watching a show.

and as of Saturday morning, 7 days left ;D

As of this date, it looks like myself and 2 of my crew mates will be attending the faire on Sat May 31/Sun June 1.

Well due to the fact that I have to deliver an antique carraige(read old car) to a guy who is coming in from Emporia Kansas and we have friends coming down from the Minnesota faire on memorial day weekend, we will be able to attend at least on Sunday and perhaps part of Monday.  this will be a new faire for us so we are really looking forward to it. 

Tis a really nice faire.  Small and hilly, but very friendly.  Make sure you catch one of 3 Pints Gone's shows.

That's one of my favorite things about our fair!  Last year I heard a few people moan about how their feet and legs hurt after walking all day at TRF and never getting half of it seen.  At St. Louis you do a little bit of walking, a little bit of looking, a little bit of shopping, and then start over.  You can walk the fair at a leisurely pace and have plenty of time for anything you want to do.  I like to sit along the fence behind/off of the stage 3 Pints Gone performs on, sip my mead, watch the passers by and wave, listen to the show and when I find I'm empty I meander back the the dead parrot for a refill.

How many days we have left?

well we are not to much into shows, but we are into shopping, garb accessories, weapons etc.  Of course a good pub will always catch our attention.  just wandering around aimlessly, watching people, interacting with paytrons, these are our fun things to do at faire.  As it works out now we will not be there Saturday, but Sunday and a portion of Monday and then head on down the road to home.

Ah Ha... I see several seem to be going this opening weekend. I shall be there as well as about 20 other Bristolians as this is our annual trip and invasion for our "Outlanders". We will also be having a small memorial presentation in Jan Holzmans honor at the Dead Parrot later in the afternoon on Saturday. Anyone is welcome to come. So, if anyone would like to meet up someplace let me know. Right Nightstar and Lady Nightstar? LOL...We will be getting to town late Friday afternoon and going to Growlers as usual for dinner and conversation.

Well Met Lord Sir Clisto!  Long time no see! 
We'll be glad to break a couple of mugs with you!  And so sorry to hear about your friend.  We will be sure to raise a toast and make a bunch of merry.  We should be getting in early Friday.  We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Wentzville.  Can't wait to see the whole gang!
Oh, is Magnus coming this year?  Might have to hide the flask......  ;)  LOL
Until Then,
