A New Faire and 25 years of "Playing Faire"

It's been over a year since I posted to this blog. I've been reading some interesting comments about Ye Merrie Greenwood Faire on other blogs. It's been very complimentary. It's nice to know that others love the Faire as much as I do.

Greenwood has started up for 2011 and the Celebration of 25 years of "Playing Faire" in Howard Amon Park. For the folks who have been following Greenwood doings on this blog and on Facebook you know that we have begun another Faire in Toledo Oregon for Mothers' Day weekend. It's been more than a little busy working on both of them at once. If it wasn't for Anthony Bucas in Toledo there would be no way I could have done this. He's been a real go getter and is usually about 2 weeks ahead of me on the timeline. Now if I could only get him up here!

Another thing that I've been working on is getting a new site for the Richland Greenwood Faire. I've been working off and on for nearly 2 decades to get a hold of a parcel of land that the City owns. We are closer than we have ever been, so cross your fingers. With the help of Richard Roddy the proposals and maps are going out to prospective support for this project. Go Richard!

That's the news I guess. Just two weeks until the Faire in Toledo opens. I think I may be able to breathe around May 14!
