Originally Posted By knightnfrees My damsel and I went to the faire yesterday. We had a great time!! We got there first thing. They had a 2 for 1 coupon for this weekend, so it was such a deal. We had never been to one before and was pleasantly surprised at how well put together it was. Lots of entertainment, strolling characters, food, merchandise, etc. More than enought to keep you entertained. We're taking about "dressing the part" next year. We felt the spirit of the faire. Looking forward to going again.

Originally Posted By FaMulan Dunno about entertainment at the feast, lemisfan, but it's next to Rogues Reefe. Tink, never heard of that show, but Tartanic is here this year. The other "circuit" acts there are Bold and Stupid Men (yawn) and Washing Well Wenches (meh). I would love to have falconers back, but there's so much waterfowl at the site that the preytors may be distracted. Dave, yep Sound and Fury are back, at the expense of Marlowe's Shadowe (who I personally prefer).

Originally Posted By lesmisfan i went to the faire this past weekend and had a blast and was so glad they brought the feast back. i have to say though, its just not as personal of funny as it used to be. but this is the first year they brought it back so im sure they are still working out kinks. i still say they need to have the belles of bedlam do the feast.

Originally Posted By Dave The Feast is a sit down dinner with arranged seating and times. It includes Brisket, Tri Tip, Chicken, Pork Ribs. (Smoked traditional and with an International flair) Mixed Spring Salad Fresh Rolls and Bread Continental Veggies in an Acorn Squash Bowl Water and Iced Tea The program doesn't state a price. Sorry

This year it is the menu stated above with the poxy boggards going by a couple groups of tables singing songs to them. And the food is all you can eat at least it was last weekend. and it costs twenty dollars a person. but its all you can eat. It was just that personal touch of the waiters and waitresses singing certain bawdy songs and giving you messages, and leaving "tips" for them that i miss.
