Hey guys,
This would be my fourth summer,
But unfortunately my former employer no longer needs my help (she is using girls that travel with her),
And without a job I will not be able to come see so many of you who are my great friends!
Unfortunately I cannot afford to just come and "play".
If you hear of anyone looking for employees,
Please pass it along here or on facebook.

Much love and I hope everyone is doing well!

I would, but I'm in Florida right now for school, so I would not be able to audition

There's always foodie work!  I might be losing one of the girls in my booth this summer, you could come work with me!  (In a perfect world, obviously...but I could put in a good word!)  :)

The secret is out- work in a food booth is the best. Everyone would starve without us. Plus- we have miniature golf at breaks with little windmills and a pond with gold fish.

Don't forget, working in a food booth means no need for suntan lotion!

I honestly think we have some of the best jobs on site.  And we have so much fun doing it!  Last weekend when I was in Arizona, none of the foodies seemed to even want to be there.  They didn't talk, they didn't interact, they didn't have fun.  Only one of the bartenders even bothered.  I was bummed.  :(  But I love my job!  I have fun talking with patrons and playtrons and just being silly.  And of course, the whole "getting paid to go to ren faire for free" thing is amazing too.

Yeah, we work our behinds off, especially during the rush, but it is way too fun to be called "work."

I'm surprised to hear about servers at Arizona! I've visited faires where the food people treat you like they have no idea they are at a Ren Faire, which is sad since it makes it just a job for them. The patrons at our faire love it when we have fun with them. Interacting with the patrons is my favorite part.

I know Zoe has fun in the pop booths, but I think it is safe to say we have more fun with the pizza...

I worked food before, and I had a great time, but I wasn't a fan of my boss and some of the people I worked with.
However, I think in the right environment, I would love it again :]

Hey- Arent You?


the other corporate option is merchandise. T-shirts, mugs, water, cameras, etc.  I did that my first year out there and had a BALL, and Melissa, the lass who runs it now, is great.  and ye don't have t stand next to a grill all day sweating on the chicken.
