Now it's 50% Saturday and 30% Sunday. It probably won't rain at all.

I'll just dress to keep warm and not let a little rain and mud spoil my fun!

That was a nice hat you had on towards the end of the day. Vince makes some killer sheepskin hats!

Saturday was the worst of the days, I had to work Sunday, so no go, but I could tell the rain was lighter and less frequent, and the wind was lighter, so the weekend did get better. But, my inal day at faire this year was still good if not chilly, and the sun did shine a few times while I was tastin some wine and mead, and finally caught the Robin Hood show, so a good day all in all. Hope evryone had a good faire season, and if not there's always next year.

Obviously you weren't at fair on Sunday, as the weather was much worse than Saturday (we were there both days).  Saturday was cooler overall, but the rains that came through on Sunday were much stronger, a couple of people even reported small hail back in area 51,  . 

[Jon Foster]

At around 2:45 we had to take cover in the castle for a few minutes. That was probably when the reports of hail came in. That was the heaviest rain of the day.

Wow, no hail here in the south, it was a fairly cool day, with rain off and on. I was hoping all of you had the same weather or better. Well, next year should be.

[Madge Estes]

Hail, yes!  (derned Vulgarians!)  We were in knighting ceremony when I heard Norfolk say "The rain is bouncing!"  Next thing I knew Raliegh had drawn his cape over my head as a shield.  Fortunately it didn't last long.

His cape over your head or the rain 

[Lord Virgil]

I had my umberella in hand at the pub sing for you Madge Estes just in case it started raining again.  I know it wouldn't have been "period correct", but I wasn't going to allow you to get wet.

[Madge Estes]

LOL. The hail.  He kept his cloak over my head til it subsided.

And thank you, Lord Virgil.  That was very sweet!

[Poldugarian Warrior]

I would think umbrella were period. It is the renaissance. They were quite more advanced than what we give them credit for. Your highness, tis a good thing you weren't injured by the hail. What would our faire be like without you Madge as our Queen Elizabeth? It'd be nothing, that's what. Good acting this year, and evry year.When  I attend I really do feel I'm in the presence of a highly powerful queen,though tis just an act. The portrayal is stunning.

[Madge Estes]

Thank you.  I love my job, and more so I love all you good folks in Hollygrove!
