we are steadily growing the numbers of attendees at faire, but we need your help to reach out to the world of the mundanes/blue jean wearers. if you can email your business associates and let them know about faire with a link to the website, it would be most appreciated. yall are great. we receive email after email about the large number of playtrons at sherwood and how much it adds to the faire.
spent saturday nite until 2am in the clans. beautiful. wonderful. inviting. we love yall. thanks so much.
a reminder: we open the back gates into the faire on the 19th of march to invite all the campers to the Rescue Rally, fund raiser for the rennie not for profit organization, and then we will wander down to the Seven Sisters afterwards for a long drum session to celebrate the coming of spring (close to the spring solstice). kids, old folk (like myself) and everyone in between are welcome. we will play around the seven sisters until 2am. christians, pagans, buddhist, jains, agnostics, atheists and all are welcome. we are very much about inclusion.
come to dance, play an instrument, howl at the full moon, beat a drum, hug a stranger. we are planning this as a celebration of life.
also, make folk aware of the friday, march 18th, that we will be open during spring break.
finally, i think all who have seen the joust this year know we are holding a national full contact joust on April 9th. plan on attending. we have jousters from all over coming to participate. should be quite a spectacle.
love yall. spread the word. our vendors need more patrons strolling thru their shops.

The 19th is also the now annual Bachelor Party Weekend. Will the bar be open for the fundrasier as well? Regardless we will come in to participate, just wanted to know if we needed to bring in our own drinks.
Also, how will the rescue rally work as far as fundraising? Raffle? Donated items to bid on?
I want to lend all the support I can muster to help out RESCUE, that is a truly worthy cause.
*I still say a free shot of rum as we enter the gates would help bring in more guests as well*
Yes, we will be selling $4.00 tap beer during the rescue rally with 100% of proceeds going to rescue. There will be entertainment, auction, silent auction. Then, that evening, we are inviting all campers to the Seven Sisters for a drumming circle under a full moon to celebrate the spring solstice. Let's fill the campgrounds and patrons/participants together raise more money for rescue, a 501(c)3, than has been raised at a faire our size.
OK, I will try and rally as many clans as I can to bring items for the auction as well as letting them know about the $4.00 beers (that may be the main draw right there lol).
*rum needs to be involved in this somehow also... I will work that out myself though*
I'd like to second a request that printable fliers be downloadable from somewhere. Either the official website or the yahoo group or some place else. I feel bad, but I completely forgot to pick up cards at the info booth. Got to talking and it slipped my mind. If I could print off fliers I could put some up here in my office this morning. Then I wouldn't feel so bad about being absentminded (o:
