Glad you posted this, Ironic1. The kid was telling me she wanted to go to this, and I knew nothing about it. Hope it's as fun as Shakopee, we spent the weekend there in August!

Very cool, thanks! BTW, Ironic1, the kid wants to be an actor at Shakopee, do you know anything about that? She was quite taken with the whole concept when we were there -- which was fine by me, b/c the more time we spend at the Ren Fest, the less time at the State Fair (which, not being a native Minnesotan and all, I don't fully appreciate).

THanks Bad Cat, that's a good idea -- much closer to home and thus easier for us to do.

Yeah, I just looked it up. Of course, the kid wanted to do it this summer, but she's already made some other commitments. So I told her next summer is more feasible, since we can plan for the time commitment it'll take, not just for her if she's chosen as a street character, but also the time commitment for her chauffeur (that would be me). I'd probably have to figure out how to be able to keep an eye on her too, helicopter mom that I am. It'd be a great experience, but I do like the idea of starting small -- like with Twig. But we're definitely going to the Faire next weekend, it sounds like a lot of fun. See you there, Bad Cat and Ironic1!

Come join us for the Chippewa Valley Renaissance Faire opening May 21, 2011, running for 5 weekends in a row.

Claire, way to be a necromancer!  Especially on a 2 year old post!  You should probably start your own post for the Chippewa Falls Ren Faire.

Paul, since the Twig Festival is not even going this year, I'd pull the plug on that link.  No need to take any chances, especially for a defunct event.
