Title: Dubuque Renaissance Faire 2010
Post by: Dustin on April 14, 2010, 12:14:06 PM
So who's planning to attend this one? They have a new location and joust this year. I hear this is a great small faire. I'm hoping to attend Sunday, for my first visit to this faire.

I will be there both days.  It's very small, but we always enjoyed it.  And we want to support a faire only 25 minutes from our home!

I will definitely be there both days since I am performing. Heck, I am in the court so I have to be. LOL... I love this little faire since it has a lot of character. And, I like working with everyone. They are like a second family. And, this faire is a fund raiser for the Museum of Arts, so it's all good.

I couldn't tell from the website what set up they have for cast for court etc. What period does the court aim at Clisto? I might come on Sunday and would love to chill w/ the court but if I'm totally out of the period ballpark I'll leave well enough alone...

Hey, how are you. Cool there lady. If you want to be closer to the period portrayed, it is basically the 1550's. Even we have a little mixture in the court since this court does other time periods elsewhere within a certain number of years. Heck, just come as you want. Its a faire and whatever makes you have more fun and feel comfortable in wear it. No one will say anything about it. Any Ren dress you have will work. Would love to see you and chat. Would be great.

My friend Carol and I will be there both days.  Steve will attend on Sunday.  Hoping my friend Sarah can attend one or both of the days.  If you see me, please come up and say hi.

And don't forget, if you've gone in the past, they've changed the location (to accommodate the jousting), so don't go to the old venue at Storybook Park!

I am so glad to hear that folks are interested in this small festival that I produce for the Museum of Art.  Let's pray for good weather and hope that everyone has a great time!  (I also hope I get some sleep this week - producing can be stressful work - trying to keep all the balls in the air, while getting ready to give a performance as well)

Yes, as her Majesty spake, come on out to this great event. You will love it as much as we do. And, yes, your majesty, get your rest. It is hard to rule on sleepless days.

Hi my friends,

   Last night I finished putting up my pictures from the 3rd annual  Dubuque Renaissance Faire in Iowa. The weather was good, but HOTTTT!!! Especially on Sunday when it was in the 90's with almost 100% humidity. Was also great to see several people from Bristol that came out to play as well. To see the pictures, just go to the link on my site below and click on the Dubuque Faire link.
