WELL!!! HOW was opening week!!!!

[CassandraR]

Ok- I know this is probably waaay to early to get my vicarious scarby in as faire just closed 50 min ago...BUT...

HOW WAS OPENING WEEKEND!!!!!    Give me pictures, give me details...give me my fix!!!!   

I still have 2 weeks before I make it up there...so...I'm begging for a bit of scarby news!

[Macintyre]

It was super fun.  I think a good time was had by all.  I know i did 

[Melkar]

Opening Sat. was hot and dry.  Didn't matter a bit as everyone was excited to be back at faire again.  Day started out cloudy and became sunny.   Sunday was cold->cool, sunny, and windy.  [OK cold is relative, it didn't snow or anything.]   It was terrific to be able to catch up with everyone.

Saw a few of the core cast from TRF roaming the village.  That's why the cast of both Scarby and TRF are so good.  It's not a job, it's faire! 

It was interesting to see how much the village came to life in the 1 week span from the FoF event to opening day.  Someone went and turned on the "magic" switch again.  Maybe their spell components got delivered during the week.

I agree! It was my first time to Scarby, and it was magic! Every second just blew my mind. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much!  I worked TRF last season, so I missed out on a lot of friends and socializing, after living out of state for 4 years. Glad to be home!

It will probably take a few hours to load and sort and label pictures, but I'll try to get at least a few of my favs up today.

We forgot the camera but it turned out to be a wonderful opening.
Saturday got pretty warm after a cool morning start.
It was great to see so many people again. Sorry about the ones I missed!
Some things changed, some people moved around; so the faire had some new things to learn.

On to Easter weekend!

[Lady Ann of Draycott]

OMG! We had a blast!!! So many friends...so little time! What more can I say? Can't wait until we can go back again! 

[THELADYKAT]

All in all it was a great weekend a few Bad things here and there but other then that it was great.

[Mast Hugger Kate]

We had a great time, it was so great to see all our ren friends again, it has been way to long. I can't wait till next weekend to do it all again. 

[John]

Both days were perfectly wonderful. 
Scarborough, you've out done yourself again.

[Queen Bonnie]

 It was a magical time and a homecoming at Scarby! Midnight Ferret and I had a fantastic time together! Hugs to all the R/F ers! Wonderous to see so many of you this weekend!
It went by way too fast!
Now back to reality and it is not great. My  favorite Royal feline, Tachi is not doing at all well.I picked him up from boarding at the vet this AM. I might have a sad decision to make soon unless he perks up.
Hoping I can make next weekend- but I do not know right now.
I am so happy I had a great opening weekend there with friends!
Huzzah to Scarby!

With the exception of the FoF pass fiasco and the various forgotten items... it was fantastic!

I Love Being at Faire!
My friends knowing I was starting out in a foul mood and solving the problem by plying me with alcohol (still waiting for that one from Thomas... j/k, ya know I luvs ya bro)
Walking about shopping and seeing the sights
Getting compliments on my new coat (that it was way to warm to wear but I did anyways)
Getting a few new garb pieces for my Love
Getting my NEW MUG THAT I HAVE BEEN WANTING SINCE TRF! (they weren't exactly what i wanted at the time... but they are new and improved now!)
Spending 2 days with my dearest friends (3 actually, since we got up at that way early hour to hang out and shop on the way)
So many times/things to mention... not even going to try and name them all
But, Best of all... for me at least... Getting lost in time at faire with my Lovely Lady Trinn. Nothing can or will ever top being with her at faire as my favorite moments.

*Watching how fast my rum was disappearing was pretty great too lol*

[John]

"Hey Teach, gimmie some rum!"

... and he did
Thanks Teach!

*sharing rum is often the best part of having rum... anytime John*

[AnnMarie B]

So wonderful!!!! It was nice meeting so many of you in person after only knowing you from here or chat.  I am sunburned and tired, but already looking forward to next weekend 

[Savol Stormshadow]

Opening weekend was Splendid! I have not graced Scarborough Faire with my presence is two years. I had a wonderful weekend seeing all my friends and spending time with many of the RF members! I'm so glad I made the RF group photo, I always end up missing those at TRF due to work!

p.s. Thanks to Teach and Trinn for the tickets for Sunday, they were very well used!
