Greetings, Dearheart, Here's Randy, an olde sailor who loves to hoist a few! 
Good grief! When the young man who took this picture was describing it 
to me, he said I was walking funny.  Humph!! I wasn't walking, funny 
or otherwise! I was dancing!! Anyhow, I love the Renaissance Faire,had been 
attending them for all of 17 years, when in 1997, for the first time,became an 
officially sanctioned volunteer performer at the Virginia Renaissance Faire! 
HUZZAH!!! I really love Festival Days!  

Another of my favorite things to do on festival days is dancing the Maypole!
Here you can catch a glimpse of me, and some of the other revelers, including
visitors doing just that, and a very fine job of it as well!


 
 
Good gentles, I'm happy to report that Festival Days 2008 at the Virginia Renaissance 
Faire are beginning on May 16th for 5 wonderful weekends, through June 14th! 
HUZZAH!!! Come Dance, Sing and share the Magic. 

At closing, each day during the Faire, the cast and the departing patrons gather at 
the gate and the cast recites this from Shakespeare's Tempest;

    Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
     As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
     Are melted into air, into thin air:
     And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
     The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
     The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
     Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
     And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
     Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
     As dreams are made on; and our little life
     Is rounded with a sleep.
    from The Tempest, Act IV Scn 1

Come join us as we awaken again this year. Check out the

meet again!  See you at the Faire!
