Things you won't see at MNRF this year . . . ??!!

[Will Gamwell]

So far I have heard that the two following acts will not be performing at MNRF this year.

Puke 'n Snot - Their website shows MNRF on the Schedule page, but on the "About" page, it says that they are only doing Maryland & Colorado.  Have also heard from several sources verbally that they are not returning.

Tastes Like Burning / The Inflammables - This info is directly from one of the guys.  Posted on FB.

No Puke and Snot?? Wow, that'd be crazy....!

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

It wouldn't be the first stupid move Peterson's made this year if this is indeed true and not a webmaster oversight..  He didn't sign BARF's biggest draw, Empty Hats, this season.  We'll see how this unfolds.  Word-of-mouth news of this sort is dubious at best.

No offence intended, Will.  I've simply heard too many rumours too often to get concerned at this point.

Tastes Like Burning will not be back.

They also have told Pansy the Unicorn *the one it the mascot like costume* not to come back either.

I am little worried... I decided to negotiate my contract this year with them... now I just hope that I maybe get a contract....

LOL!  None taken!  I've worked out there too many years to trust a lot. 

The post about Tastes Like Burning/The Inflammables was directly from Abestos himself.

As to Puke & Snot . . .   That is only by word of mouth and from many sources, some related, some unrelated to each other.

All I know is that I'll be there.

I'll say this much; if P&S aren't there this season, it will suck for the shops that rely on the crowds that pour out from the Legend stage after a show.

Exactly.  Working the dragon egg booth in past years, that was really the only time we had traffic was when P&S show would get done.  Otherwise it's a barren wasteland most of the time.

Puke & Snot Schedule

Looks like everything is normal at this point.  Hopefully it stays that way.

Hubby and I talked to Snot when we were at CoRF in June.  Snot made it sound like P&S would be at MNRF.  I wish I could remember his exact words. I will post it later if I remember what he said.

Puke & Snot Schedule

I'll see your Schedule page & raise you their "About" Page.  (see question #5 "HOW MANY FESTIVALS DO THEY DO?")

Puke & Snot About Page

Also, the interesting piece of "rumor mill" information was that The Inflammables were going to be on Legend Stage.

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

I wouldn't put much stock in that "About" page.  It was last updated in 2008.

Which was of course the year they decided they were too important to come back.

[groomporter]

Or got a better offer from MD and decided to teach JP a lesson?

Aha!  That was something I was wondering about.

Also this is from the Facebook page for the performing cast:

Minnesota Renaissance Festival Performing Cast There have been questions and rumors about our Bakery. We are looking at making a change in our Bakery, and discontinuing the tradition of having a working Bakery. With Danger Committee occupying the space nearly all day, and the general condition of the structure, we're not sure it makes sense, from the customer prospective, to continue. We'll let you know.


I helped out there... it isn't like the spend money on it, and really all that excellent food before parade made that march just a bit more bearable!
