I am excited to announce that Memphis, TN is finally getting it's own Renaissance Faire!  The faire will take place Aug 22-23 and 29-30, 2015.  As I receive more details I will keep everyone apprised.  I hope to see you there!

Sketchy info on the website.  It is close enough to attend but the time of year, it is going to be H O T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although a mere 2.5 hours away, I would not attend that time of year.  It would be suicide.

Surely you have spells and incantations that would protect you.

I am indeed powerful, but I have lived in Memphis before, and August is not a time I wish to be there...

Understandable, when my wife and I did the Tenn. faire we ran for 2 years in June and that was bad enough but August is unthinkable.

We were in Memphis last year in early August and it was 104 degrees,  I wore my kilt and was still hot :)

The website went live just a few days ago so we are still trying to flesh things out.  It takes a village to make it happen!  ;)
I will continue to post updates as I receive them.

I am not necessarily looking forward to the hot weather either, but having lived here many years and participated in Civil War reenactments wearing a wool uniform it is still doable.  :o  We will be sure to have plenty of water on hand.  I think a lot of the decision on August was due to other local events and availability of an event site.  I will be sure to pass on all of the heat concerns at our next meeting.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I have to avoid being overheated like that, so it's just a "me" thing. I know lots of folks who can't handle the cooler temperatures that I thrive on--40s-50s.  We all have our limitations. I don't think a wizard in a speedo will work, and it would be an ugly image indeed!

That said, I wish ALL the luck to this new endeavor!

Aye, Blakduke...it is a frightening mental image indeed!  The Wizard apologizes.

I'll post this new Renfaire on www.meistersrealm.com as soon as my new web host transfers my files over.  Should be done in a few days.

The Oklahoma Renfest was held in August its first few years.  They made the move to May after that.  I can totally understand the need to keep your patrons and playtrons from passing out due to the heat.  Keeping a faire in the heat of the summer will only bring about its demise in the southern part of the country.
