Sir Brian:
Well it looks like a change of plans for the wife and me concerning our first Renfaire of the season. Rosemary has been following some of the discussions on some other renfaire forums and the general consensus is an adamant refusal to support that faire this year as a way of protest for the way nearly all the performers had been ripped off the previous year by the faire owners. They are also supposed to be at a new location this year which is reputedly lacking in running water and electricity. It is all a bit tragic really because that faire had a lot of promise and is one of the primary events that those noble members of the Knightly Order of the Fiat Lux are/were a big attraction. I do not know if they will be attending NCRF this year or not.  :-\

So we decided that since we’ll be going through the expense of traveling and hotels we might as well go to a faire we know will be happening with a good turnout. Besides we missed it last year!  ;)

Sir William:
That is a shame to hear...you'd think the faire owners would know a bit more about chivalrous and just behaviour than their modern day counterparts, but I should not be surprised I guess.

Sir Brian:
It is even worse than we’ve “heard” about. My wife’s FB friend who is working the beer tent sent her pictures and it is so sad. They have like only five vendors besides the food and beer tents. They do have a jousting troop there but not much of anything else. I had such high hopes for that fair when they changed their venue to the larger area of the golf course, it is such a shame really.  :(

Sir William:
That sounds like it might be on its way out of the circuit, then.  THAT would also be a shame.

Sir Edward:

Yep, NCRF's problems run deep. They recently auctioned off a bunch of physical assets (tables, benches, etc), and attempted to sell items from their storage that belonged to some of the hired acts, as well as tables that belonged to the fairgrounds.

I don't know how much of it is unscrupulous, versus just being clueless. Either way, it's really a shame.
