We will be visiting in 2 weeks (Valentine's Weekend).  Does your shire have a name other than ARF?  Does it reside in any certain period?

It is known as Fairhaven and is set in the 16th century Europe...Our cast predominately play English (a good reason for us to be French so we stand out). At some point I recall seeing a spacific year for the setting, but for the life of me I cannot find it, although we are not wholely historical.

The full name is "Fairhaven-upon-the-dryford"; saw it on a broadsheet when I was out there today. I don't recall the exact period, though.

When we were coming up with names for the Faire that is the one that Jeff (the producer) picked to be the official name, but I still think of it as "Penny-on-the-Farthing" which was always my favorite.

I keep seeing all these references to Fairhaven being set in the 16th century, though I could of swore that the village year was 1492.

Wasn't Fairhaven the home of "The Mighty Heroes" of cartoon fame?  ;)
