Not wishing the Spring/Summer away, but you know Dwyn and I (and Mehan and Ewan) will be there for Closing Weekend...but lets not speak of "closing" anything until we have an opening! 

Not even the inch of snow we had last night will dull my eagerness for Faire!!!

[Amras Elfwine]

Sorry but as for now I will not be at fest this year. I have been notified that I will not be returning as cast this year and just going to the grove without Ron is something I cannot do. If they change their minds then I will be there. otherwise, I wish nothing but pure enjoyment to all. Maybe next year....

[Scotsman]

Sorry to hear this Gloria. You will be missed lass.

[Lupa]

That is so sad:(

[Hibernian]

Both of you will be there in our hearts.

Because of some inquiries, here is the long version pertinent to my post.

Ron was part of MDRF when it was in Columbia for one maybe two seasons. He played St. George and had to slay a dragon three times a day. The ren was forever a part him. He would attend to "people watch" and to experiment with his photography skills. Believe it or not, he was actually shy and that is why he liked to be part of the background. He introduced me to the festival in 2000 and I was never the same. History was my best subject in school and I loved it. Seeing the festival through my eyes added a deeper dimension to his passion. We were committed to attend at least once every season form that point on. The ren became part of us and was instrumental in changing my view from Ron my best friend to Ron my true love. It was like we both belonged in that time and with each other. We traveled to other faires but the Grove was always the standard and at the center of our pursuit in this passion. Many a time we were called lucky to have it as our home faire, one of the best in the country.

At Revel Grove, as we took every aspect in, we shared so many ideas, feelings and a passion that I wish I could describe better. Being part of the cast just added to it while allowing us to feel like we were giving back some of that which the Grove was giving us. For me, it gave me the chance to do something I loved, in a place that I loved. That last season he was here, he couldn't wait for me to get home and tell him all about the Grove, what I had done, who I had seen, all that I experienced. Last year, in my grief, it further helped that I had a character to portray, things to do and places to be. Very little time while at faire to reflect and give way to my root feelings of loss and not being able to exchange with my love our thoughts, ideas and passion. That was reserved for when I got home and could freely give way to tears and speak to Ron. Ron did want me to continue and made me promise I would do so but he also knew because I told him, that I would only continue as cast because otherwise it is too painful and actually I enjoy being on cast. It be because of all of this that I cannot attend the festival as a patron. I will be here off and on as well. I hope you understand. I wish a great and successful season to all.
