that's this one unless there was another, becasue the one I passed looked like a motorcycle under a big truck that had traffic backed up to the ren fair gates into magnolia

Yes, that's it
my thoughts and prayers go out to both families
In our prayers today.
Our hopes for any possible recovery go out to both families.
Prayers for peace and strength going up for those who love them.
Brittnay was a wonderful girl, and had one of the warmest smiles I've ever seen. We will miss her greatly.
I'm so stunned right now.
I only knew of her in passing but she had a beautiful smile and spirit.
2010 needs to be over NOW.
We've lost...seven or eight Rennies since this year started between Scarby and TRF.
Enough is enough. :'(
My heart goes out to her family.
another article on the accident :'(

It seems like only yesterday that I was at Scol's funeral and now his girl has joined him
I don't know what to do or say
I am just stunned by all of it
I just got off the phone with Andi.
There may be a memorial for her at Gnome camp this weekend.
totally unsure of it all right now though, to early to know anything for certain
I will make sure and post here as soon as I know
Brittany was in my booth shortly before close on Sunday. Maybe Sarah but not sure. Don't have a pic of Sarah.
There will be a participant & family only memorial inside faire this weekend after close. I'm sure there will be others from her extended fairemly.
I'm with Teach...
It does seem like only a few days ago that we were farewelling Scol, and now his daughter has joined him. My prayers go out to her family as well as healing prayers for Sara.
So often we get in our cars/trucks and drive knowing we are tierd, I'm guilty of it. I think we all need to take a moment to put this young girls memory in our hearts so that we think, and make the right decision to not drive when your tierd. I was trapped at TRF Sunday night and ended up not able to leave for almost 2 hours and I think it was a good thing, I cursed the people that blocked me in but I was very tierd and ended up napping while I waited for someone to move. I still got stuck in traffic from the other accident for 2+ hours. I am sure going to take being tierd a little more seriously now.
Take a moment to hug the ones you love, it seems that sometimes they are taken from us with no warning....I am so sad for the family of these girls.
Our heartfelt prayer and thoughts, go to you all!
We pray her family and friends, find some Peace and comfort during this time.
And we hope the other young lady who was injured finds healing.
She is also in our prayers!
Blessings!
Sterling Renaissance Family
Word about the other is it was our Joust French Knight and though he is bruised up and has a broken leg and several riibs he will live to ride another day...got this news via FB and Capt'n Fletch... So much better news there!! Not bad when it is a motorcycle involved!
I did not know this young lady, but to you, her friends, I offer my most heartfelt sympathies. I don't live in Texas to follow the obits. If there is a family requested memorial, would you post it here? I would like to send something...
Thoughts and prayers to the Family. :-[

WOW that he survived that is freaking AMAZING!!! I was sure the result was fatal. That bike was a bit of shiny metal under that truck...WOW!! praise God and the powers that be that watch over bikers!
My heart goes out to the family, the lose of a father and now a daughter.
What sad news to come home to. My heart goes out to the families. Hugs too. What a terrible thing to happen!
My prayers go out to the families.
Praying for both families. Praying for Sara's quick and total recovery. I pray that the ALMIGHTY comforts Brittnay's family.
What horrible news - our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to all of them and their families.
I am saddend to learn of this loss and am sending prayers for both families and for Sara's recovery.
Healing thoughts and prayers and going out to the families and friends of all the people involved in these wrecks. May they find peace and heal well.
Good news, word is that Sarah has been released from the hospital.
Huzzah for the release, and prayers of healings and love to all involved.
Prayers and good thoughts to all those involved from the ren family at CRF.
Wonderful news about Sara!
Now I pray, she finds comfort and Peace, during her time of sorrow, with the loss of her friend.
So glad to hear Sara is recovering well and our continued prayers to all through this time of sorrow.
So glad to wake up to good news. But our thoughts will continue with Sara as she makes her recovery.
There's a short video tribute - "In Memory of Brittnay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpCr9TrNr-0)" by Brian Merritt, Josh Parmer, & Vincent Merritt (a.k.a.- Ye Olde Vlog (on Facebook) (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001807911078)).
We were in camp and heard sirens. It is sad to know that those sirens were for one of our own. :'(
Still sending prayers of comfort and healing to both families... and prayers of gratitude that my loved ones, including my Fairemily, are safe at this moment. Things like this remind us that life is fragile and fleeting, and to show our appreciation for those we hold dear.
All of you here mean so very much to me, and life is richer with all of you in it. Thank you...

That accident was the French knight, who is still alive.
The accident with Brittany & Sarah was many miles way.
{{{Hugssssssss.........Rani}}} :)
{{{Huggsssss to you all}}}
Prayers and thought go out to all. To much tragedy this season on the circuit.
3rd faire related tragedy in 4 weeks... I am in SHOCK still. She was a bright light on cast and I wish I had known her better. I will always remember her as a cheerful courageous and smiling presence and she had nothing but kind words for me. TRF grew a little darker this week with the loss of her smile but it does live on in our memories. Here's to Brittnay may she live with the faire forever and may all that enter the gates feel the warmth of her smile and spirit.
Here, here! I raise a toast in her honour.
No one has mentioned any requested memorials. Any word yet? Perhaps I should make a donation to RESCU in her name?
Here are the memorials I am able to find right now:
There will be a TRF participant only memorial for her at Faire around 9 pm, participants are requested to bring a white candle and a picture or something to add to a memory book.
and then this was posted as well:
For all those that loved our precious Brittnay. Our dear friend Peggy has graciously set up a memorial fund at Wells Fargo Bank. If you feel like helping the family you can donate at any Wells Fargo Bank. The account is set up as Peggy Land memorial fund for Brittnay Tidwell. If you have any questions or concerns please call Liz at 281-235-4958
I hope this helps!
Thank you, luv. I don't think we have Wells Fargo banks up here that I'm aware of, but I'll get in touch with them.
Prayers and good thoughts go out to the family. Myself and a few others found out about this Monday Morning and we just hugged eachother. we are sadden by this lost. She was a wonderful person.
We're getting bits of info here and there in Carolina. It sounds like RESCU has information on both accidents and you should be able to find out more from the Rescu reps in TX. As far as the French knight. He was pretty seriously hurt and has a long recovery ahead of him but it looks like he is going to pull through. I am so sorry for all you have gone through in TX.

If you have Wachovia there, it's the same bank. WF bought them out, but the bank kept it's name. See if they have a record of the fund.
Perhaps they will allow online donations.
