Cast members helped spread the word at RenaissanceFestival.com and a check of the website verifies the extension.

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.

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. […]
