 It all sounds very marvelous and magical! I can't wait to see all you are bringing back from Bali! Exciting times!
I shall spread the word at Scarby while I am there!
So happy Sherwood is closer to me ! I anticipate the next gathering!

Here's wishing you the best of luck for a smooth start! I looking forward to seeing all of your ideas brought to life. It's always wonderful to hear of a new faire within driving distance to home. Huzzah to you!

Your site looks lovely by the way!

[Robert eben Hope]

I am very excited to see how your wonderful ideas pan out. I will hopefully be able to make it out for opening day. I wish there was some way I could help, please let me know if there is!

[Queen Bonnie]

  I found a ride to Scarby for this Sat- so Alas I will miss the April gathering- but I am spreading the word about Sherwood!  There is lots of interest!
See you at the next outing!

the water line made it to the property line on friday. we should have the lines dug and pipe installed within two months, as well as electrical lines.

the billboards should be up by next week along 290.  look for them.  exciting advertising for the faire.

another stage--green woode--(the main robin hood stage) should be completed this week, as well as the fencing around the children's area.

the brush on the grounds should be off the faire grounds proper by week's end.

then the next two weeks, the bobcat operator will be finalizing the grounds for construction.  thus, in three weeks, vendors will be free to start construction of their respective booths.  generators will be required...as electricity will not be on site yet.

had quite a few more vendors at this last gathering on saturday, april 25th. 

the momentum is growing.

thanks to all of you for being a part of this creation.

lots of folk attended this last outing

i'd love to hear from you on the forum of your thoughts.

it would also act as a good medium to stir more communication about the faire and it's progress.  some of the folk are still quite leary after songwood fiasco...and i'd like them to become more secure in the plans, progress and business model we are operating under with sherwood.  but, us saying it wont have the same effect as those of you who have spent time on the grounds, witnessing the development of the faire...so, help us out. 

write more...and criticisms are ok too. it will drive us to rethink our ideas.

we truly want this faire to be as much a part of your creation as ours.

our billboard(s) - two -- should go up within the next week and a half
one on either side of the entry on u.s. highway 290

beautiful art work which captured the feel and spirit of Sherwood Forest Faire

www.swf-faire.com or www.sherwoodforestfaire.com

likewise, this week was very good at adding new vendors to our family
between artists, artisans, merchants, soothsayers, face painters, and food vendors
our total is close to THIRTY!!!

we want a hundred before the faire swings its gates open this next February 27th--2010

ps. we are trying to build up a wardrobe of costumes for the faire.  our efforts to get our costumes made in indonesia has been met with one chaotic fiasco.  we will accept any and all pieces of garments, accessories, for our closet--old, slightly used or new. 

[Queen Bonnie]

 I can't wait to see the bill boards! Excitement builds! Huzzah! Rte 290 will be happier with Faire billboards!!

queen bonnie,

i dropped by and spoke to a blacksmith in elgin today, by the name of tiger, one block off the main street.  if you know him, encourage him to be a part of sherwood.

likewise, if you or anyone on the forum knows of a glassblower,we would really like to find one to set up seasonal shop in the woods of sherwood.

cheers,

rengypsy

 I am encouraging all I meet to be part of this faire! I know the smith you speak of. There is an art walk here in Elgin next Sat and I will see artists there and spread the good word. I am also talking to people at Scarby when I go. I know the magick of this faire will happen! It is exciting!
