I'm soooooo confused!!

[wickedwillingwench]

Ok...Is the Sterling RF the SAME as the NY ren faire?  Does Sterling just run into the NY?  Are they in the same place?

We're hitting Sterling over the 4th so we can see Don Juan and Miguel (hope DJ is fully recovered and back on both feet) and to go to Linda's Hairlooms so I can comission a Juliet cap for my wedding.

What other delights should we make sure to experience while we're there?

Sterling Renaiisance Festival  and  the  New York Renaissance Faire  are 2 totally seperate faires.

Sterling Renaissance Festival is  located in upstate New York near Oswego.

New York Ren faire is located in southern New York near Tuxedo.
It is sometimes mistaken for  Sterling cause the woods  around  it  where  the faire  site is  located is  called Sterling forest.

Sterling runs  from July  to the middle of August.

The New York ren faire runs August  to labor day weekend.


As for as what to experience  at Sterling  i would  suggest  the  following :

- The Joust

-any of  the musical acts

-the falcon show

-the food

-the vendors  and  crafts people

-just walk around  and enjoy the interaction between cast and visitors.





hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Sterling is  my  homefaire.

thank you, dear Lady.  I am somewhat less confused now.

I am looking forward to Sterling and will TRY to make it to Tuxedo.

What was wrong with Don Juan? Is wasn't a mortal wound , was it??

What was wrong with Don Juan? Is wasn't a mortal wound , was it??

Evidently he tore his achilles tendon on the last day of the faire in Arizona earlier this year. He needed surgery and had to do one of the Texas faires sitting on a stool, but he seems to be nearly recovered now. They did make some adjustments to the show at Sterling to accommodate his remaining limitations.
