Shannon, a.k.a., Queen Anne Boleyn of Scarborough has announced on the Book of Faces that this is her final season in her role. For those who have never have the opportunity of visiting Scarborough, she is the epitome of beauty and grace.

I will not be the only one to miss her. I wish her the very best....

this bums me out immensely. she has been and always will be the queen to me. one of the few constants i could rely on season after season, a vision and force to be reckoned with in purple velvet. i will miss her, and have passed on my good wishes to her on facebook.


not to mention, good luck to anyone willing to try and fill THOSE royal slippers!
look up into the stars, and you're gone.

It will certainly be difficult to fill her shoes. Shannon always was the epitome of style and grace. But perhaps we will see her in some future role.

Oh my goodness. That IS a bummer to hear. She has been the Queen at Scarby for NEARLY as long as I've been going (I believe she stepped into the role a couple of years after my first visit). Well, it was a good run and hopefully, as others have said, perhaps we may still see her in the future.

Not sure we'll see her in a different role moving forward...
Here's what Queen Margaret posted on the book of faces:

Quote from: Queen Margaret of Scotland & the IslesAt the end of her 25th season, Shannon Hopps/Queen Anne of England (Anne Boleyn) will leave Scarborough Renaissance Festival as our queen to Richard Patterson's King Henry VIII.

The decision is Shannon's and no one else's. She is doing it for her own reasons. She decided it is time for her to do something else with her time. Her husband's career is ramping up, and she wants to support him as he has supported her during her time as queen. She still loves the faire with all her heart; she just felt that it was "time."

We have three days of the festival left to enjoy. Please join me in honoring Shannon by making it fun, care-free, and something she will remember with fondness.
