There is talk of attending a 1-day free faire on the OSU campus, Saturday, May 2.
As Scarlet pointed out, this could be a good way to get a pre-season faire fix, especially since the closing of the Fairy Festival.
Not only will Terry be there.
But the Olde Caravan will be there as well. (the gypsies at GLMF)
It's a nice little faire, and best of all it's FREE. The south oval on the OSU campus is a beautiful backdrop for a faire, and they do fit a lot onto it. Last time I went they had good entertainment and a nice variety of vendors, and it was a great way to kick of the season.
