good day to all. me Belle and me recieve'd our answer last even'n about thee "Calendar"-
now thee bad news, we have been in contact with John, he is unable to retrieve thee "Calendar". may we ask if others out there may have a print'd or save'd copy of thee "Calendar". me Belle is look'n today in our files to see if she can find any that i had print'd and brought home. if anyone else has a copy, please PM this Old Tinker and let me know. our hopes are to get thee "Calendar" back up within a couple weeks. any and all help is need'd. we shall post this information on many threads, and hopefully someone out there may have a copy of thee "Calendar".
i was foolish not to back up thee "Calendar",
so that be said,
i be the Old Tinker and his  Belle...

Katie & Missy, glad you gals found your way back here with the forum move.

And yessssssss, where is this new pub? Didn't someone say near the jousting field?
Title: Re: Countdown to opening!
Post by: Lady Missy on May 15, 2008, 12:34:19 AM
Speaking of the new pub, i pulled this from the newsletter.  Looks like there are a few new places to enjoy.  I cant wait!!!

As we approach the 2008 Season of the Faire, we would like to introduce some new and exciting additions to the venue. Makaela's Kitchen will be back in full swing with a wide spread menu of Shepherds Pie, Haggis & Mash, Fish & Chips, Chicken Tenders, Turkey Legs and much more!! This year we will be opening Briarwood Bakery on Main St, which will include baked goods such as Breads, Muffins, Cookies etc... Second, the opening of The Royal Food Court, located on the west side of the Great Hall will be a great place to stop and enjoy some Roasted Nuts, a Funnel Cake, Nachos & Cheese, Apple slices w/ caramel dip, a Royal Slush Drink, Beef Jerky, Dill Pickles, Garlic Mushrooms, Deep dried Artichoke Hearts, Stuffed Olives, Jalapeno Poppers and Depp fried Bangers & Chips. Last, but not least, we are opening The Twisted Thistle Pub, which will be located in the front corner of the Briarwood Forrest. This will be a small pub, with variety of Ale and merriment. Hoodoo's Pub, locate d in the Great Hall, will be open as always with a great variety of Ale, and wonderful entertainment. The 2008 season is going to be a great success, and we hope to see all of you there. Cheers!

I have all of my wooden displays made and water sealed , tent ready to go along with bed , pretty much ready to go for set up on the 29th. I only have a few covers left to make for my canopies.  I can't wait to meet everyone. ;D  All are invited to my booth Jewelry Creations and More By CherBear. I would love to meet more of the RF people. My parents Sir Jim And Lady Helen meet a lot of you at the ORF invasion last year but since I work there also it is hard to wonder off to meet people.

Peter was trying to organize something for before opening. I'm thinking around 9ish. I would be there but my car needs a little work done in the morning. So I'm going to the shop at 7:30 and hopefully can still make it by mid-day. :) I'll definitely be there Sunday too
