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:
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?

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.

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.
