Question

[The Pirate Kings Wench]

My mom is taking me and my friend, The Pirate King, to our first Faire so I've heard good things about it. My concern is how much clothing/souviners are. Can someone give me a range of the cost?

It is really going to depend on the quality of the item. I will say this about VARF, shopping here is greatly cheaper than most faires.

[~pixie~]

The shopping at VARF is great, with a wide variety of merchandise for sale.  Most is hand crafted by the shopkeeper, so any questions about specific items will be answered right away.  These people, like the entertainers, cast & crew, are not paid aside from their sales or tips, so please do shop and support them and their craft!

There is a faire store, where actual VARF items such as shirts, hats, mugs and stickers may be purchased.  If you buy a mug ($20)or goblet ($18), bring your receipt to the pub and they'll fill it once with beer or cider for free. 

I hope this helps!

How many times can we bring the reciept to the pub?

*waits patiently for an answer*
How many folks can use the same receipt?

[~pixie~]

LOL.  Riiiiiight. Good one.  I knew some of that was coming, and I'm not surprised to see it first from you two! 

Just once folks, for those who might have seriously been considering that question.    The barkeep will mark the receipt so you don't come back in disguise.

[Pinn]

  It was a valid question.......at least I thought so. 

[~pixie~]

You know...indeed it was, and you saved someone else from having to ask that very thing.  You've done your good deed for the day!

[Peddlin]

So what if we make copies?

[~pixie~]

LOL.   Now that's so crazy it just might work!

Originally I was presuming you were referring to the gift shop, which pixie covered (I believe the t-shirts are $15, and I 'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong).  If you're referring to other shops, those run the gamut.  You can get a combination
leather corset and bra done up to look like a treasure map for $400 or so.  You can commission a complete pirate outfit complete
with Captain Morgan jacket and spend several hundred dollars as well. Or you can spend $5 on a mug strap. It's up to you.

I agree that the shopping at VARF is very good and reasonable; more so than many faires. They are all great but our favorite is Glastonbury Designs. A large portion of our garb has been purchased there.

My favorite place to by souvenirs is at the pub. The problem is I need to bye a new one every 20 minutes or so.

Man you are slow my friend.  Scotsman needs a new souvenier every 10 minutes or so!

Dallan can only get a new one every 20 minutes instead of every 10 because Scotsman keeps hogging up the space at the bar!

I, my friend, am no Scotsman.
