Ahoy! A few o' us from Northern California have a chance ta visit yer Faire this year! I am hopin' some of ye kin giv' us some info about a place ta stay an' what kind a' weather ta expect, etc... if we do come, it'll be on President's Day weekend. Any special events planned fer then?
Lady TF
Well the weather can very from biting weed puller cold to unseasonably warm, so best to check the weather 10 days out for a better idea. As for where to stay, how many in your company, and what is your price range?, as for special events, the 4th annual French Breakfast will be held by the Marqis du Chandler, Comte du Gilbert and myself Viscomte du Arcadia on the Sat morning before cannon, coffee, crossiant and other goodies will be available for you and your company, just look for us in the VIP parking area, we are not hard to miss.
Feel free to pm me here for more information,
laissez le bon pain de périodes!
Viscomte du Arcadia
Thar be three in our boardin' party, meself an' me daughter an' her fee-an-cee. We'd be happy with a berth with two queen beds, fer aroun' $100. (don' want top o' tha line, nor a berth in tha bottom of the hold!) Heres hopin' we kin git ta yer breakfast!

It'll be great to have you. A friend of mine plays Shakespeare at one of the Northern Ca faires.
Once inside come on by the Falconers' Heath and say HI

Thank ye fer tha info! Is Mesa a good place ta look fer a hotel? I seems ta be close by.
Lady TF
Mesa or Apache Junction would both suit your needs.
Viscomte
Harr! I have obtained reservations fer a berth in Mesa, so thars no turnin' back now! Me next chore is ta decide what garb ta pack in me duffle, an' which ship ta take on this journey. Decisions, decisions!
Hope ta see ye all soon!
Got me ship picked out, an' preparin' it fer a longish voyage.(12-13 hours of pretty borin' scenery!) Made me a new chemise of a modest red hue, so as ta look me best fer the upcomin' visit, an' counted out some gold pieces fer tippin'. We're all lookin' forward ta pillagin' at a different Fest/Faire!!! Yarrgh!
Lady TF
We will do a "pre-pillage" inspection for you this weekend and report back.
Marcos
Now that's the way ta welcome visitin' Pirates!
Lady TF,
We aim to please.
Marcos
Lady TF,
I please to aim!

Lady TF
All is well for your visit, bring rain gear as we have a chance of the wet stuff for the weekend.
Marcos
Thanks fer that warnin'. Is it likely ta be blustery, or jest rainy? I be hopin' ye have lots o' shelter available, unlike our faires, since we rarely have ta contend wit rain. (Once or twice we had snow at the Celtic Faire, tho! ) See ye soon.
Lady TF,
Rig for both rain and bluster, desert storms can be unpredictable.
Marcos
Well, we set forth on the morrow, early in the morn. I'll be glad ta leave the foul weather we be havin'! (snow an' rain mixed with sun an' wind) We won't be able ta be at the Faire on Sat, on account o' family obligations. We will be there on Sun an' possibly Mon. The internet forecasts say the weather should be better those two days. Hope they isn't wrong! See ya!
Lady Toadflinger,
I know not which internet sites you have consulted, but all the one's I have seen show approximately the same:
Sat: 67 degrees/50% rain chance
Sun: 54 degrees/60% rain chance
Mon: 61 degrees/partly cloudy
That indicates to me that Sunday might be the better day to consider staying indoors. So, if your plans are adjustable, you might wish to commence adjusting.
Cheers,
Baron von Schaumburg

Lad TF, Baron et al,
According to the local weather soothsayer, rain on Sat afternoon, into the evening, clear and cool on Sun and Mon.

Brother!
Wear the kilt with the cloak!

Well, I am finally recoverin' from the sail back from AZ! Sailin' over mountain passes wit' a cold is no fun. (even fer a tough Pirate!) We loved yer fest, tho' we didn't see much of it on Sunday. Ye have AMAZIN' temp drops in such short times!!! We jest went back on Mon, an' enjoyed the fest then. What beautiful grounds ye have, and such fyne vendors! I fell in love with the leather work of the artist responsible fer "Grichels- a wrinkle in reality". (leather articles with eerie faces and one or two taxidermy eyes) We met a few fellow Pirates an' saw a few shows. The turkey legs were outstanding! I hope we kin make it back ta yer fest another time!
Lady TF,
And we hope you can come back as well.
(I told you to rig for foul weather!)
