GUEST,The Celtic Bard Help: Come save our Renaissance Festival (42) Save our Renaissance Festival! 23 Apr 01


PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT US!! WE ARE IN DANGER OF DISAPPEARING!!

We're a little Renaissance Festival located at the Riverview Park in Norco in Southern California and we are in desperate need of support. This is only our fourth year and already we're feeling the pinch. The problem is that we overlap with the Renaissance Pleaure Faire in Devore at the Blockbuster Pavillion at Glen Helen Regional Park. That one is the biggest longest-running Ren. Faire in the nation and draws a big crowd every year. It starts next weekend and will probably draw most of our crowd away.

The problem with Devore is that it is really expensive, both to get in and the prices for food and merchendise within the Faire. Plus it has gotten really political and I've heard horror stories from ventors that have had bad experiences there with the sponsor's greed. On top of that, there's rumors going around that Disney may buy it. DISNEY!!!

At our festival we have managed to maintain the original spirit of the Renaissance. We have really reasonable prices both to get it (only $10) and within the Festival. Plus we have games, shows, guilds, music, food, battle reinactments, and the joust every weekend. We're open every weekend from now until May 28, rain or shine. If you want more info including directions, please check out the website at www.renaissanceinfo.com. Just click on the heading for the Corona/Norco Renaissance Fesival. Overall it's a nice little Fesival and most of the people that I have talked to say that they prefer it over Devore.

So please come and support us! Help us protect this little niche of history and noncommericalism!

P.S. If you can make it, please come drop by my boss's bouth so that I can thank you personally. I'll be working the ring toss and the crossbows games. Please don't take the fact that I am working there as the reason that I want you to come (I actually get paid very little and I'm just doing it for the fun and experience). I just fell in love with this Festival and I want it to stay around. Again, thank you.
