It is truly sad to see Silverleaf close it's doors!
For those of you needing a replacement fix, the drive to Mid-Michigan Renaissance Festival is well worth the drive. Of course, I am biased....I am the proprietor of the Golden Gryffon Pub at MMRF!

This year's festival will run 4 weekends in June (9-10, 16-17, 23-24, and June 30-July1)
We are always seeking vendors and our cast, crew and entertainment auditions are being held February 18 - 19, 2012 from 11 am - 6 pm and again on February 25 - 26, 2012 from 12 noon - 4 pm.
The auditions will be held at Sullivan's Black Forest Restaurant in Frankenmuth , MI. Hope you can come and be part of our Festival family!
