Assuming arrival at 10:30 opening gate, how long would it take to leisurely stroll around the faire 1 time, without stopping at any one shop or act.

Depends on how fast you walk.
According to most people I know, my stroll is more of a fast walk.
But that is usually on familiar territory.

If I remember correctly, I think the one time we went it took just shy of an hour to look around at everything. That was without actually stopping at any of the booths, just looking them over as we went by and sort of cataloging what type of stuff it had.

Good that is what I needed to know.

Thank you

Looking forward to meeting you this weekend BD.

Alas and Alack, My trip to Rendevous has been waylaid by RL responsibilities but I do plan on being at PRF at least once this weekend.  More then likely Sunday.

Hope to run into you.  You will find me....Ok you will find me at the Pub.  there, I said it...I admit ok. 
I would rather endure a thousand biblical hells then live a life of perpetual inconsequence.

Glad I could help.
My daughter and I generally use the same approach to any new venue or event.(concerts, faires, hotels, etc)
We make one quick pass through all (or as much as we can) to get the lay of the land and general orientation for stuff.
Then we go back through and hit the stuff that caught our attention or had us curious.
I generally like to know roughly where I am in relations to things, and where I am heading when moving about. It's a little less "seat of the pants" but much less stressful that way.

BD, there was a time when we used to give tours of the shire.  Once through, with pauses along the way to talk about things, and meet some cast members, we could do it in 45-60 minutes.
