What is everyone's favorite thing about Four Winds Faire?
If I had to pick one thing, I'd have to say my favorite is the award-winning joust team. I also like the fact that the faire is small enough to allow patrons to interact with the cast & get to know them more, yet large enough to offer lots of different shows & vendors.
My favorite thing about it is the people :) The vendors and cast mingle...it's great! :) You get to know each other and I love it!
First I would say the joust.
Second the vendors. There are some different vendors than I see at other faires.
There are some other things, but those are the top.
Jousting for sure! :D
My favorite thing about FWF is Dracconia....but seriously...I enjoy the live steel fighting both as a performer and a spectator and everyone who attends or participates as vendors or cast are all really down to earth people. The parties after hours are worthy of mention as well....LOL.

AWWW! Butch you get such a big hug for that one!!! Yep you moved into favorite status!!!
:D
Yesterday, I got to meet a lot of the other patrons of the faire. They pointed out how non-commercialized the faire is. Those are my favorite things - the people & the lack of commercialization.
During my first visit to 4 Winds last year, I mostly checked out the vendor booths & hung out w/ my buddy, Leghorn the Piper. This weekend, I had more time to hang around & was able to compete in the archery tournament. I met a lot of great people participating & running the show. They helped me figure out that the friendly atmosphere was what I like the most. I don't feel like a number or just some more income that walks in the gate.
I also really enjoyed the pub sing at the end of the day. It was my first anywhere. Everyone had a great time. I didn't want it to be over. I'll have to find a way to make it back to 4 Winds next year.
To everyone who participates in this great event, in front of or behind the scenes: HIP, HIP, HUZZAH! HIP, HIP, HUZZAH! HIP, HIP, HUZZAH!
*Hugs* Craigmeister We were glad to see you come and sad to see you leave!!! I will be looking for you next year and hopefully get to meet you face to face!!!!
