Feature: Puzzle Fun!
John-Paul's such a lady's man...but he belongs to Willa, so don't
get any ideas.
- Wybreg Village Spring
— This photo started it all...we decided that he had such
a good time in getting this photo taken that we would have it
become a tradition...and has it ever!
- Hamlet of Mid-Missouri
— Where we met our beloved Sheila...a very special
faire for us!
- Iowa Renaissance Faire
— JP woo'd the fair Lady Melissa and her invisible
dragon.
- Kansas City Ren Faire
— Yes, he was being wenched. But I picked this pic because
the husband of the lady kissing him is standing in the background...check
out that pose!
- Wybreg Village Fall
— A great couple of ladies to end the season with.
With a face like that, how could you NOT kiss him?
Every two weeks we are going to turn five of our
very own photos into a Java-based puzzle for you to solve! If you
have a suggestion as to a photo that would make a good puzzle, let
us know! To see past puzzles, go

Article: Swishy-Poking Shattock Swordplay
 |
The Shattock Schoole of Defence has been given a fantastic
opportunity that we wanted to share with you. On Sunday, August
26th, they have been given a single show "audition"
at the Minnesota Ren Faire in Shakopee, MN. If you can, show
up and support them! This try out will allow them the opportunity
to be hired on a more permanent basis in the future! Go Shattock!
As faire season approaches (faster and faster, it seems!),
AtTheFaire will be highlighting those performers and merchants
whom we believe are a cut above the rest. [more...]

Article: Babus MacMonkey
Babus MacMonkey...the legend continues to grow.
I will give you but a snippet of just whom Lord MacMonkey is. He
was a lord from the highlands of Scotland, on holiday that brought
him through the village in England in which the Washer Well Wenches
were living and working.
He was handsome, and we all know the weaknesses that the wenches
have for handsome men with brogues and kilts. [more...]

News: RenRadio Featured on Scarby Site
I got an e-mail from Rengeek this week that I thought I would pass
along to y'all:
"Renradio is now featured on the Scarborough
Faire web site! At the bottom of EACH page on their site has
a linking banner to RenRadio.com.
Listen to faire music while you surf.!
Total face lift of the Renradio site. Easier to navigate. Cleaner
and brighter look. More cleaning power and a fresh lemon scent!"

News: Rennie Documentary site updated
Another e-mail to share with you! I figured I'd put this up here
since they were kind enough to put my visage on their site as a
link to ours! I'm hoping they'll let us have a sneak preview so
we can see this movie!
"Greetings, everyone! The 'Keepers
of the Kingdom' documentary web site has been updated. View
the picture gallery, play games and learn more about the film and
a possible screening coming up soon! Spread the word! Huzzah!
