This is the second annual event and a lot of fun. Max the Sea Wolf and Keelhaul Kate
Gah! Looks like so much fun! I wish I could attend, but my cousin is getting married that day... Have a pint for me everyone who attends!
This will have to go on the calendar of must attend events. It will be great to see my Pirate friends a week earlier than usual!
Great! Let all your friends know and visit the web site posted above, I'm working on getting a group rate at a hotel for those who choose to spend the night. More details to follow.
Well there goes that free weekend we had with no plans. YES!
Sorry no group rate for rooms as they want money down on a block of 10 and if we don't fill the rooms I'll be eating the cost. There are many places to stay in the area and the Pirate Lords will update them on their web site soon.
Thanks no, I can't attend, but I wanted to bring something to your attention.
A tiny town near me is having, what they are calling, a Pirate Festival.
I'm dressing up and going to see what it is. Even if I just buy myself some shiny and a corn dog, it will be worth it. Not to mention the attention from unsuspecting patrons.

I'll look into that festival but I doubt we'll be going.
We lived in Greenbush for 10 years just north of there .Have lots of friends in the area, We are supposed to have company that weekend but if they do not arrive looks like it's time for a road trip. Oh and I see they have a costume contest aaaaargh!!
I just checked the Brethren of the Great Lakes web site and there is a link to hotels up for the Muskegon area. If you need a place to stay check it out.
It's this weekend, so who's going?
I'm planning to be there!
Attention all Pirates cutpurses and skallywags
The Countessa Gabriella Maria Valla of Turino will be in attendance escorted by one of The Kings Guard Charles de Montcalm Captain of the Musketeers. Her Husband the Counte Carlos Guieseppe Valla is in France raising an army to retake the Duchy of Saxony. Beware my Captin as he is quick to temper and quicker with his sword.
This day August 8th 1714

We attended yeaterday and had a great time! I really hope to see this event return to Muskegon next year as there simply are not enough events on the west side of the state.
A great second year Festival, better than the first. A thank you for all who attended. We hope to have another next year and could use some more support. All the kids that came had the time of there lives with free booty, treasure hunting, sword fights in the street, pirate trivia , story telling, music, dancers, shops and pirates everywhere. The adults in Muskegan love it too. Now on to MiRF.
Here is a link to our photos .We had a great time see you all at MIRF

You must come next year and we'll put you up at the Lyon Inn. :)
Hmm...I could swear I posted yesterday morning about how much fun we had and how nice it is to have events on the west side of the state but it seems to have disappeared into cyberspace.
Carl and Donna,
Thanks for the pics, now I'm really bummed we couldn't make it. The Dutchman, Grey Beard, Admiral Morgan were all there and we missed them, pooey! Oh well, only 4 days to MiRF, I'm sure I'll see them there.
