Not sure where this should go:

I was approached today about a local Columbia, TN boy scout group starting a small ren faire in March.  They did it this year and want to do it again, bigger, better, and including the community. I was asked this year to do some belly dancing, but because of tiemconstraints did not make it.


I am curious as to who might be interested in doing some performances. Forgive me, fo I met him many times at TNRF, but I know thereis a man who juggles a crystal ball. I know we have musicians, dancers, etc. here in our community who might be able to give of their time....


Let me know by e-mail, etc.

Thanks!

The  juggler is Avidd.  You might try bagpiper. And he's not on here but Matt from previous years did some magic. He was Matmagican or something like that on Myspace.

Calling all Celts, and lovers of music!
www.kycelticfest.com

The Celtic Fest in Eminence, KY is coming! September 27th and 28th! Crafts, music, mayhem, ehm, I mean loads of fun, Celtic style! There is a listing of vendors and musical acts at the site and they are stellar!

Two I'm especially looking forward to The Mickey Finns (http://www.themickeyfinns.com/)! And Seven Nations (http://www.sevennations.com/)! Last year The Mickey Finns put on one hell of a fantastic show, couldn't help but dance to the music. And Seven Nations is going to be an awesome addition!

Anyone going?
