Here is the link to the fair
http://www.bcrenfest.com/index.html; I've already been told that my product would totally fit in and a kind reminder that we would need to be dressed period. Here's the blurb on the "story line" for this year:
"The year is 1510 and it is not long after Steller's Grove was visited by King James and Queen Margaret of Scotland as well as disrupted by the pirates of the Jade Dragon. In this short time news has reached King Henry the Eighth that Charity's plea for innocence and the release of the warrant placed on her's and her crew's heads has been honoured by The King of Scotland and that they have been released of the original warrant's claims.
What James does not know is that a witness has been discovered and can personally ID Charity and her crew as the architects of certain crimes. With this new tool coming to light Henry reissues a new warrant and sends it out across the land.
When the Sleepy Shire of Steller¹s Grove receives the new warrant they also inherit the witness, who has decided to settle there as a way to finally begin a new life. The moment the Sheriff reads the new warrant he goes about preparation for any possible return of Charity or members of her crew. A wise move as Charity has decided she has grown fond of Steller's Grove and believes the Sheriff and the villagers would not toss her and her crew out if they are merely there to relax.
Her return not only stirs up memories of embarrassment for the Sheriff but also puts her, her quartermaster and her firstmate at the mercy of their own lies and deception. To make matters worse The King and Queen of Scotland return. Frustrated by Charity's now growing fleet blocking their paths, the King is on the warpath. His insistence for her ships to leave him, and his ships, alone may lead to one conclusion. The King may have to make Privateers out of this ragtag group of pirates."
If nothing else the entertainment value is above & beyound!!!! The cost is reasonable - A 10x10 booth with power is $125.00 inclusive for the 3 days..... Mom & I are already designing our customes...... :wink:
So basically not all Renaissance Fairs are created equal either huh....
) I may have the opportunity of doing one and would love to hear what other people have experienced with them....
