RenDezvous 2010 @ Scarborough Faire, TEXAS (April 24/25)

[Blue66669]

Oh, I had planned on giving a call to faire management. 

[Merlin]

Not to be a wet blanket, but you might want to check with faire management before anyone starts promising that folks will be marching in the parade.  They may just say yes, but they may also say no.  It's important to remember that the average faire-goer assumes that ANYONE in the parade is an employee of the faire, so if they see someone who was in the parade drinking a beer or wearing sunglasses, that means that they assume all employees do so.

Whether management says yea or nay, though, there will be PLENTY of fun things to do!

I've been a Friends of the Faire member for a while at Scarby and I get the idea that our (not really our but it feels like ours) faire is a bit more relaxed on things like this. They certainly wouldn't condone inappropriate attire while in the parade but it feels like they are really concerned with people just having fun. I've known non workers to march...I've marched... there just seems to be an air of peace and happiness at Scarby.
I'm also not making promises to anything but I just can't imagine Scarby management saying "No...the RF Rendezvous is not allowed to march on your rendezvous day that you organized and brought paying members throughout the land to our faire."

I've been grabbed from the rows and asked to participate in several activities (well...3 that I can think of off hand)

Blue....let me know if I can assist you in assisting in anything with tickets for our far away travelers. I'll be Friends of the Faire again but since I'm closer than you...I don't mind running a few errands fer ye!

I hope this goes off well and MANY newcomers travel to see Scarby for the first time.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to indicate that "my" faire is better than anyone elses.... I'm just encouraging everyone to try and make it here.

The faires I've been to encourage people to join the parade. It helps involve the customers and usually, the end point of the parade is a show

That's pretty much how Scarby is.... it's all about having a good time.

I would love to come, but we will see what the world has in store for me next year.  I leave the country in early July, so lord knows how busy I will be come then, plus I have school till the first weekend in May.  But I will leave my fingers crossed and my hopes high!!

[Lady Ann of Draycott]

We will definately be there THAT weekend for sure!

We missed the first one at TRF because I didn't find the forums until the spring of '07.  Couldn't make it to the one in 08 or 09...now since this one is a Scarby, my favorite faire, I'm certainly not going to miss it for anything! 

[lady M]

I'll be there with 5 in tow. 

[Serenity]

Ok, Hubby and I will be there that weekend.  Coming in from MD.  This is going to be a blast!

[Yrose]

Miss the epic event, you've got to be kidding?!?! Of course we'll be there, add 2 from Tejas please.

[Blue66669]

HAHA Yrose, go to bed!!! I'm adding everyone right now!

[Lady Kett]

We will definitely be there! That's me and Hubby (Bob). Texas!

[Lairde Guardn]

Add Lairde Guard'n M'Crack & Peddlin to the List

Scarby is actually the "Home Faire" of the Clan M'Crack and we have a number of members on Cast or in booths or pubs including Queen Mags aka Hors'n M'Crack and should have a good number of the Texas M'Cracks that will show up for the Rendevous.

The None Texas Chapters of the Clan M'Crack will also be well represented, so far it looks like we will have

Lairde Guard'n, Peddlin, Lairde Flattin, Alone'n, Lairde Dubl'n, Heal'n, Slack'n, Surf'n, Sand'n, Ewe'n, Sun'n, Wench'n

(and depending on schedule) Fight'n, Pet

Hey...not sure how things are going to be organized but I offer up my services to escort any newbies about until they get comfortable with the layout of Scarby.

Let's see.... Cat and Fiddle is here and .... well, let's sit and think about the rest for a bit.

lol

And for all of Blues hard work...I promise her another Cider on me !

I think I owe someone else a brew...not sure who though.

Anyone who travels from out of state to this event...gets a brew on me....how's that?

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

I have an automatic fare watch alert set up on Kayak.com for airfares from the Illinois/Iowa region to Dallas for RenDezvous.  I figure it I start now, maybe some good deals will come up.  That will be the determining factor if we can make it to Scarby.

Steve and I really want to go.  The timing is right for us to close the restaurant for the weekend, after the ski season, but before the tourist season.  I hope we can find some great fares!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I will have to hitch a ride- but hopefully I will be there! Glad Scarby WON!!!
