Count me and my husband in. I'm not working this weekend, but we'll be out having a good time anyways!
I'm really impressed at how quickly you are re-acting to suggestions. Keep it up!
I so wish I could make it this weekend, but I won't be there... I am building houses for Haitian victims with church friends and singing at church Sunday.... so good causes I think! I will miss the joust, the hooka bar, all the belly dancing, waking up to the fresh air and going to bed with the sound of drums, the great music acts, the candy shop, the Love Potion at the apothecary, and the wonderful pasta!!
Can't make it this weekend but the wife has all ready put in to have next weekend off and we'll be down then.
Bringing out the fairy wings for this weekend! Can NOT wait to be back in the Forest.
Sherwood did rock this weekend! My weather spells were awesome.
This weekend was truly awesome. The campgrounds were indeed packed and the attendance inside was great as well. The family had a great time. Our daughter had to do the faerie tea party both days.
I had heard that the pub had run out of beer on Saturday. I thought to myself "Self, tis unbelievable that the crowds drank up all of the Blehweiser." Oh was I wrong and saddened to find that it had actually been all of the good beer that had been drained.
Oh well, tis only the sign of an excellent weekend at faire.
Now lets prepare for Easter!
Yes! On to Easter! Kill the evil Peeps!

huzzah! You have made your Queen very happy! Kill the evil peeps!
Since I will be at neighboring Wimbeley on Saturday, we may stop in. Depends on how time treats us. I hope to make at least one weekend this season. ;D
I hope you make it too ,angusmacinnes! You will love this faire!
HMMM. My clan is Innes too.
Coming in this Friday for faire with a good group of folks. It's only Monday and all I can think about is leaving for faire. Sorry job!!!!!! Hope to see you all this weekend. Huzzah!!!!
It will be good to see you again Queen Bonnie. I do so look forward to it. Now, off I go to order largess for my squire (grandson) ;D
As predicted, this weekend rocked in no uncertain terms! Queen Bonnie, your weather spells are the bomb! Attendance was even better this weekend than on opening weekend, and that makes me very, very happy. ;D (<---Me, happy.)
Management made a wise decision in bringing out Renaissance Festival Magazine for this past weekend; they could have hardly have picked a better one for it. Can't wait to see the issue when it comes out; the lady we talked to said something about November or December. ;D (<---Me, happy again.)

There will be some highlanders in attention
Tricky mother nature just has to send one last blast of winter for the spring equinox. Texas weather is so hard to plan around.
