Just returned from the GARF where we got to hang around with our new
friends from the NCRF a couple of weeks ago and is consequently our newest
forum member: Dragonlover! We had a fantastic time. The weather was warm and
mostly dry on Saturday but a bit cooler and rainy on Sunday. Saturday was a decent
day for armor...just have to remember not to stand under any rain laden trees when
their are trolls about!  :D  Here are some picts.

Rosemary in a garden.


Rosemary with a little princess


Rosemary & me with puss-n-boots


Me with a Troll – He said he liked knights because they were crunchy on the outside
and chewy on the inside.


Me with a demon knight?


Me with the husband of our newest member: Dragonlover
His samurai harness is absolutely incredible!
Of course we had to get our picture with the “roaming gnome”.

Excellent! Looks like you guys had a great time. I've never made it out to GARF, but I'd like to see it eventually. So far my driving radius has been < 6 hours, except for Texas and Colorado.

VARF is coming up soon. Note to self-- take lots of pictures.

Good morrow...

This is my first post here....a couple of you know me already.

Thought this would be a decent place to start.

My wife (Jeanie),son (Evan) & I were members of VARF for a few years in HM court.  We portrayed the Fitzwilliams, (Sir William, Lady Anne (Sidney) and young Master William).  We were even there for the year of the mud (2003).  Haven't done many faires as patrons, but did manage to get to Carolina RF last Fall....(got a pic or two of Sir Brian & Lady).

So I'll try and post a few pics from then & now....

Cheers

Hail and well met good sir! Welcome to the forum and thank you kindly for posting some pictures!

Do you venture north to the MDRF by chance? If so perhaps we can all arrange a date and
time for us all to met and lift a tankard or two...or three...maybe four if it is cold enough...warm
enough...cloudy enough...sunny enough, etc.

Suffice to say we shall consume a drink or several.  ;)

Again welcome!
 :)

Thank you Sir Brian....

We have not been to MDRF in years.....though talk of a re-visit has arose from time to time. 


Cheers,

Welcome to the forum! I remember the mud at VARF... I was a vendor during the weekends in Fredericksburg when the faire didn't open due to the mud hazard. Wow, that was bad. I think "the year of the mud" was the following year.

Here's some pics of our booth in 2002:

      

Those shots are from before the rain storms. The following weekend you can see all of the hay/straw that was put out to cover the mud:
