Post by: rengypsy on July 08, 2009, 10:14:21 AM
we are seeking folk to provide music, flame throwing, magic, etc for the evening of our August 8th Gathering at Sherwood Forest Faire.

love to hear from any individuals and groups who'd like to perform when the sun goes down.  any time from 7pm til dawn.

would really like a number who could lead us in a drum circle around midnite.

Greetings to the group.  About the gathering on the 8th:  I'd be pleased to offer palm reading at no charge, no tips accepted, for several hours that evening.  And if the county fire rules will allow it, I have a torch or two that I can set up around my table to enhance the Gypsy atmosphere a bit.

I'd consider this a good way to get to know a lot of the folks who are putting this great show together, and I look forward to the opportunity.

Thanks,
Lynn, the Gypsy Palmist!

"Solaris and the Deadwood Fox" will be doing a Comedy, Magic, and Music act on the 8th, probably one of the earlier acts to give them plenty of daylight.  

Also Ember and her 7 Fire-Spinners will take the stage once it is good and dark.  

Anyone else who wants to get on the stage that night should contact me, entertainment@sherwoodforestfaire.com, or Chaz at yepthatstheone@gmail.com. Thanks to those performers who have offered thier talents at our previous events.  I can't wait to see what we have yet to discover!---------------------------------------------Autouloucous
