here's the original message posted for the CVRF group on Facebook:
I am very saddened to post this tonight but the Chippewa Valley Renaissance Faire for 2012 is NOT going to happen. The High Council attended an investors meeting today; we were told that the faire will not open this season. VOT is also cancelled at this time. The property is going into forclosure.
This DOES NOT KILL THE GUILD. We will continue; this is not our only performance opportunity.
Here's what we have scheduled at this time:
A) Regular Guild meeting on April 14, 1-5 pm. Watch for details on this meeting.
B) We will still plan on marching in all parades that have been discussed and scheduled.
C) The "Ren on the Glen" is still a go for the last weekend in July. We have lots of work and planning to do for this Faire. It will be an amazing weekend.
D) Other Faires are being and will be explored: Shakopee, Bristol, Door County, Janesville, Souix Falls. We are trying to make contacts at these Faires for our Guild to attend as guest performers.
WE ALSO HAVE PROPERTY STORED ON THE GROUNDS THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED ASAP! If you can help this coming Friday and/or Sat. FB message Dawn M. Olson. I will coordinate getting us access to the grounds. We will need some trucks and vans to load with our stuff.
Truly disapointed,
Dawn (Momma Claire)
