About
Faire News is a blog designed to share with you the joy we find at Renaissance, Medieval, Pyrate, and Faerie Festivals. You can learn more about the performers, cast, staff, and merchants that bring the events to life by reading interview based articles. If you’re looking for reviews of past faires, reminders about upcoming events, and occasional rambling thoughts that are faire related in some way, you’ve come to the right place.
With 18 years attendance at mostly Eastern Faires, Escarlata Cisneros and Leinad Thornwolf have met so many outstanding people who contribute to the overall feel of Faire. Begun in January 2008, FaireNews interviews those people, whether they are performer, cast or staff member, merchant, or visitor. During the interviews, Escarlata asks all kinds of impertinent questions. Leinad specializes in wandering the site, capturing candid shots to illustrate the articles. The articles resulting from the interviews are published on as part of the “Have You Met?” Series.
Notes about past events and upcoming items of interested are published as we find them. Miscellaneous announcements and random thoughts are possible at any time *chuckling* just because things don’t always show up when we expect them.
You can reach us at FaireNews@FaireNews.com

Most links I include are not for affiliate programs, but occasionally they are.

We have done Silver Leaf Ren Faire for 17 years, and was
wondering if the Hounds of Royalty (Greyhounds) will be
allowed at the Michigan Ren Faire. Also, what is the fee
PER DOG. Not only do we come in costume, but also costume
up the dogs, according to the theme of the weekend we
attire. We garner a lot of attention and pass out info
on what really goes on behind the scenes of dog racing,
along with info on where and how a person can adopt a
RESCUED and retired racer, usually between the ages of
2 and 4.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
Lady Judy Jones, Staff & The Hounds of Royalty

Lady Judy, FaireNews doesn’t dictate individual faires’ policies. I’m sending you a private email with the information I found regarding animals at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Esc

I wish to inquire if you could help me to reconnect friend named Ken Davenport. I last heard that he was affiliated with your Renaissance Festival.
Thank you for your time.

I’m sorry, I’m not going to be of any assistance. I don’t work for any faire though I attend many. Often the employees and cast of faires are temporary workers hired for the run.
I wish you luck connecting with him,

Hi, I’d like to add a faire to the list, it popped up in google for last year but hasn’t been renewed for this year. Its next weekend, Sept. 12 and 13, 10 to 6 at Chandler Park in Tulsa. This will be our second year and it has really grown!
The full name for the show is Tulsa Kings Champion Medieval Faire.
If you have any questions, just give me a shout!
Rene

Oh, thanks! I’m starting to collect the 2010 dates for the calendar and really appreciate the help. I’ll get them added this week.

Hi, Rene, and welcome to FaireNews. Kings Champion was on the calendar. I’ve not done any posts for most of this year. That’s why nothing showed up in Google when you did the search. I’m working on different ways to get the info out without it consuming my life. Look for posts to start again soon.
