The Nebraska Renaissance Faire will be here before we know it.

Here is hoping the weather is warm and the winds are few.

After the rains last year I hope we have no more 'lakes'.
I also hope to be there... Now just to decide which garb to wear.

I second that! 

My Lady and I both plan to be there a couple of hours each day.  ( we both work overnight and have to sleep at sometime!)

Hopefully next weekend will be dry.
I much prefer this site over any of the others the Nebraska Ren. Faire has been held at. The trees and the permanant structures are nice.   HUZZAH!!

Looking forward to seeing the pirate ship that was built last fall. We weren't able to do the Pirate Festival last September so didn't get to see how it was used.

Yes, lets hope for little to no rain. Though when has a little rain stopped some of us??

Mud Pit when it does, but not at midwest ren faire, it has a 10ft wide concrete walkway all the way to the back

Yeah, it is muddy when it rains...course that is how it was back in the 1500's.

Yup, mud does make it all seem even more authentic!

[jeremiah sullivan]

how many will pay to come into amud pit?

[Bev the Bossy]

Didn't mean for this thread to turn into a mudsling contest. (no pun intended!)

I happen to like the new site the Neb. Faire has found as a vendor. Just my personal preference.

It's just great we have choices and can enjoy the faires!

Which weekend is James Arthur? We might have a faire just about every weekend in May in  eastern Nebraska! Huzzah!!

Actually I do not like the site for the other faire. The walkway is congested and booths are crowded around it. It is only one walkway and they seen to keep the faire right on it. As if to move away from it and the faire vanishes. I will hopefully though be going to that faire to give it another chance. With all the moving around and new management and such there will be growing pains. Though, I hated the whole buying tickets to buy food. Is that done at any other faires???

No mud pit sling. they have planted 36 trees from 12' to 25' tall. some shade this year, next year more I hope. the vendors have to be back about ten feet for emergancy no both sides of walkway. There is a beer garden this year, more good times. Thanks for your ear time

[Knitting_Dragon]

Well there you go. Like I said, growing pains. I try to give places more then one chance. I do hope that it gets better. I still morn the loss of Iowa Western as a site.
