There is a really good Faire in West Windsor, NJ.  The West Windsor Lion's Rennaisance Faire.  This year it will be on 5/16 from 10am to 6pm and 5/17 from 10am to 5 pm.  It is in Mercer County Park in West Windsor.  Admission is 7 for adults and 3 for Children.  Great food, really good archery, and some excellent battles with instruction.  I went the past two years with my kids and it was great.  The vendors are really good also.  I picked up a couple of bows and some really good arrows.

I'll send a full profile over to the Faire Directory.

It actually made me sad to see that list, as there are many faires on there that are either on financial hiatus or outright over.

Maine Ren, last year, was AMAZING. We had such a great time vending, were excited about returning only to have it cancelled. *sigh*

The Olcott Festival, it should be noted, isn't actually a Ren Faire. It's a Celtic Heritage Festival that several rennies attend or vend/perform at.

Yes, the NERennies web forum has closed.

I sent a message to Keith, the guy who was administrator for the the web forum, and he said that since so few people were using the forum, that they've moved it to a Facebook Group - Facebook - NE Rennies Group

Take Care,
