Only 10 days until the Gate swings open for the Season. Are you ready for some RenFaire???

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm excited to go and check out all the new changes this season. Plus I'm broke this season so I can spend all my time watching the shows instead of shopping ^_^

10 days....for you. For those of us on the inside, they open tomorrow! Tomorrow is Summer Youth Day, a kid's day for summer camps and the like, and a sort of dress rehearsal for the cast and staff before we open to the public on August 13th. This time tomorrow, we will be towards the end of the Human Chess Match, I believe.  8)

Its going to be a good season. See you all soon!

Good luck Dobbs! Have a BALL!! I will for sure say hey when I come through, will probably be closing Sunday.

Huzzah! The Faire opened today with a cloudy, then overcast sky. Although the weather forecast called for rain by late evening, a shower rolled through at 11:30 AM. It cleared but still remained overcast. Just after 4 PM the skies opened up raining cats and dogs and a few horses and cows. What a deluge! When a couple of lightning bolts crossed the ether, I decided to leave. I don't know if they closed the Faire or not. Going south on Route 72 it rained so hard traffic was slowed to 30 MPH. I didn't see any shows but met with all my Faire Family Friends and a number of Cast. All in all, a rainy day at Faire is still better than a sunny day at work. 11 more weeks to go!  ;D ;D ;D

RH- I forgot to mention I gave out 300 caramel sour apple lollipops to friends and cast. Told them they were so evilly good, they would have to see their priest and confess. I told Looney Lucy something else but I can't repeat that here. Ask me when you see me....  ::) :o ::)

Faire was closed early yesterday (about 4:30ish I believe) AND today (around 1:00). Several hours of torrential downpours and lots of flooding on the grounds. Hopefully it drains out and the rains stays away for next weekend!

RH- Yup, did have a great day yesterday ( I only go to Faire on Saturdays). My concern was for the Faire 'cause each time they close early or cancel they take a  goodly financial hit. Too many of those and there won't be a Faire.
