Okay. So we had our first community Renaissance Faire at the library last year and it was held inside.
The other day I was walking by the creek that runs along the property. The creek bends and goes up the side of the library and in that bend there are several trees that form a circle. I was looking around at this patch of land thinking how beautiful it would be in the springtime when the grass is greening up and the flowers are blooming and the trees are leafing out. My father told me "If you truly love this, if putting on this faire is your passion, then nurture and make it grow, move it outdoors and get the whole community involved". So that is what I'm doing. This patch of land is grassy, with many trees and the creek. It would be lovely for the event. Were having it the first weekend in April.
Here are some events we have planned so far:
-Masquerade mask making
-Fairy crown making
-Face Painting
-Make-a-wish inside the "faery ring".
-Maypole dancing
-Contest
-Shakespeare skits(?)
-Renaissance Jewelry Making(?)
-Music - Harp Player(?)
-Etc.
Like I said it's not big yet because it's only our 2nd year doing this. It takes place on an acre and a half of land. So that's how big it is for those need to know before they can help.
So what do you guys think so far? Ideas and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

People in this area focus too much on the civil war. I say it's time to think outside of the box.
Ahh, cool. Good Luck!!!!!
