Our BARF Season so far
We’re six weeks through the seven week season and, so far, we’ve attended six days of a possible ten. We know we’ll be back out for closing weekend.

Have you met Caroline Jett?
Stopping in the lane, she listens intently as the children greet her. She asks her brother to provide the little boy with instruction in proper courtly behavior. Turning to the little girl, she explains to the child that jewels are always a good thing, holding out one of her own hands to show off her rings as the other reaches to a lady-in-waiting for a token to share. With the gift in hand, she presents a small gold-tone band to the child for a start on her own collection. On another day, she leads a motley pirate crew through the streets in a celebration of madness, mayhem, and rum tasting, charming wenches and picaroons with her salty ways. Whether playing Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Katherine Parr, or Anne Bonny the Pirate, she charms old and young alike. Let me introduce you to Caroline Jett. [...]
Renaissance Woodworkers have a new place to talk
In mid-May, Charles Mallett created a new Yahoo group for professional and amateur woodworkers who devote some or all of their work to the Renaissance Faire market. Mr. Mallett, known officially at Faire as Master Thelonious Hieronymous Erasmus Eostrebunni, is called “Bunny” by his friends. The list, Ren Faire Beavers, is open to wood turners, [...]
Have you met Giacomo the Jester?
Whether walking the rope, singing a love song to a maiden in the lanes, or leading the band in to a resounding chorus, he brings a sense of wonder to everything he does. Always on the lookout for something new to learn, the jester has developed the talents necessary to sustain the renaissance traveler he is at heart. The quick-witted troubadour charms even the Queens of our Faire shires and they welcome him to their festivities and urge him to return safely from his travels. Let me introduce you to Giacomo the Jester. [...]
Have you met Susan Griffin?
Bouncy and vivacious, her blond hair up in artful wisps and tails with feathers and tassels woven in, her features accented by the swirls of color, it’s easy to fall under her spell. No matter which faire she’s at, years of experience have helped hone her knowledge of the perfect location to draw the attention of young and old alike. With a few touches of the brush, she draws you in to the fantasy, starting the day off by bringing out the beauty that hides in us all. Let me introduce you to Susan Griffin, proprietor of Face Paint Emporium. [...]

Have you met Looney Lucy?
Moving quickly through the lanes, the slight form wrapped in tattered clothing always seems on a mission of some importance. On her way to offer her services as a fashion consultant to a courtier or for a quick tryst with her latest conquest, she comes to a quick stop at a wave or word from a passer-by. As she turns toward you, the quick grin and cloverleaf affixed to her nose erase any doubt that you might have found the wrong bag lady. Let me introduce you to Looney Lucy. [...]

Have you met Tom “Red” Zadoyko?
Striding across the festival grounds, oar banner in hand, the redheaded pirate grins at the ladies, throws jibes at the gents, and encourages the little ones to run away and join his crew. On stage later with his partner, he puts his wits and cutlass to work charming the audience. The roars of laughter at their escapades create the euphoria that is like nothing else in the world for him. Let me introduce you to Tom “Red” Zadoyko. [...]
