Midsummer Magic Faire
Finally, after far too many annoucements regarding the closing of faires, there is some good news to report about faires.
Jeff Mach, the mind behind Wicked Faire, has decided to launch a full scale outdoor festival. I asked Jeff what the motivation for starting a faire now was.
Jeff:
You know, the Wicked Faire had a really serious fight on its hands for the third Faire, and the community came together to help us. We wanted to thank them, and that’s part of why we had the “Chocolate Factory” theme this past year. The Chocolate Factory, in turn, got the most support of any event I’ve done. For years, I’ve wanted to give back to the community by living out one of my own dreams: putting on a full-scale outdoor Faire. I’ve wanted to do that since I was 13. With the success of the Chocolate Factory, we finally had the ability to do so.
I also asked him about the acts that he had scheduled, but he was still playing that close to the vest. I have heard rumors of Daniel Greenwolf attending, and perhaps doing something we have never seen from him before.
He has recruited some new talent as well as some old hands, his fight team is lead by NERennie members Artimis Lebeau and Carlos MacRican. I expect there will be some interesting stage combat scenes, as the two of them have been working since late 2008 on these scenes.
The last question I had for Jeff was whether or not this was his first venture away from "Wicked Style" events?
Not at all. I’ve been doing events for fourteen years now. I’ve done cuisine expos, cult movie events, game events, and music festivals, to name a few. But Wicked style events have been my proudest achievement so far - they’ve been the first events to really incorporate all the elements I’ve wanted to have in one place at one time.
So make sure you go out and support this new faire, which runs July 18th-19th, July 25th-26th and August 1st and 2nd.
As you might know NER will be sponsoring the kids court in this years Connecticut Renaissance Faire. While I may be begging for volunteers to actually help me run the games later, right now we are looking more for ideas or anyone who may want to donate any items for decorations to help spruce the area up (flags, cut outs, anything G rated really).Please post here what you maybe able to do so we can plan this all out.In case you haven’t seen it yet, Keith came up with a great idea that looks amazing close up; these pictures do not do it justice http://karmicdebt.net/?m=20090524.
NE Rennies Fundraiser Dinner: April 4, 2009 proved to be a slightly cold and windy day but walking through the quaint toasty warm confines of the Old Salt Restaurant in Hampton NH the weather was the farthest things from many people minds.It was the Third Annual NE Rennies Fundraiser Dinner and the room was packed to almost capacity with all our fellow friends from near and far who had come to celebrate the beginning of spring & Ren Faire Season. This event proved to be outstanding as the food and drink flowed freely along with the laughter as fun was had by all members of our group through out the day.One of the highlights of the day was when the raffle winners where announced for all the amazing prizes.The full of list of winner was not available for this story but we would like to congratulate all the winners!!! (ok so none of us actually thought to write DOWN the winner is more to the truth of it but we still want to say CONGRATULATIONS) JThis event would not have been possible without Captain Kalea who organized this event and did such an outstanding job arranging and running it.From dealing to the food & location (both which was exemplary) to getting all the wonderful raffle prizes organized everything about this event was superb. A very special thank you to her for all her hard work and dedication it turned this event into a huge success for our fundraising efforts. Also during this outing a secret meeting was held, one in which the gullible Aine (me) was “hijacked” by the Knight Counsel into helping run the Kids Court for the CTRF that the NE Rennies may be sponsoring this year (OK so “hijacked” is not exactly the right word.. more like.. asked by SOMEONE it hard to say no to).There will be MUCH more coming down about the Kids Court soon as we will be asking for all types of volunteers (from building games and ideas to actually manning the games on Faire days), once we get all the final details in place we will be posting something on the forum.Anyways a great time was had by all and we are all looking forward to this year’s faire season which is shaping up to look like it will be a great time.
See you around the faire grounds. Aine Submitted by AineOTuathail
