The theme for weekend # 4 is the Royal Ale Festival.
But it is also Mayday and I believe the Court will dance the "Velvet Maypole".
What time will the dance be?
I like ale ! ;)

Thanks! I'll be drumming for the Stardancers 5 shows on Sat, so I may come and watch after our 2:00 show.
They did the Velvet Maypole the last time MayDay was on a faire day, and there was a rumour that it was happening again this year. I still haven't been able to confirm or deny it, though. (However, to be honest, I haven't asked around too much as of yet.) I'll try to check about and see if I can get confirmation on it for folks.
This will be the first weekend this year that we get to relax and stroll the Faire at our own pace. :o
Much as I loved RenDevous, it was some exercise. ;D
"Velvet" Maypole can someone 'splain please? ???

Traditionally, when the actual May Day fallas on a Faire day, rather than having the peasants perform the maypole dance, Their Majesties and the members of the Court perform the maypole dance.
The 'velvet' refers to velvet court garb.
