Hello to all my followers and thank you

You know, I never did thank any of my followers. I would like to say thank you to my 3 followers. Thank you very much for reading my blog! I certainly appreciate it, since I am relatively new to this whole blogging thing.

So, now to the news...(don't you love when the news media says that?);

The farm owner at Winslow has decided that she doesn't want to vend the food this year. We did have some vegetarian options last year, but with so many people wanting in now on this faire, we thought it would be too much for her to handle, and guess what, it is. So, now I am on a mission to find a food vendor that has vegetarian menu only (yes, I know Oxi Moron, but we've tried to reason with her, but to no avail). I may have found one person in R.I. that might be willing and sounds excited by the whole concept, although, he has not been to a Renaissance Faire before, so how did I explain this to him? I basically said, it's like walking through living history. (How else?), And to sweeten the deal, if he says yes, then I can maybe get a Belly Dancer to come to him during the day to give him a private belly dance and possibly the wenches to come over and give a bodice hug, but now that means I'll pay out of my own pocket to do this...but I don't mind...if that means we have food to eat!

The parking is working out nicely, I can't spill the beans yet, but that is coming along, and I will explain as soon as I can!

Also, the flyers are done, and we now just have to post them up everywhere I can think of, online and off! So far, I've posted on: http://www.facebook.com , http://www.whofish.org, http://www.boston.com , http://www.cafemom.com, http://www.workitmom.com, http://www.going.com, http://www.efaire.com , http://www.yelp.com , http://www.momfaves.com, http://www.nerennies.net and a few others. If you know of any free sites that I can promote our faire, do let me know and I will post to that as well!

I'm getting excited as the time draws near...
Thanks again.

Please help promote me! Vote!

So I added this site on my blog to advertise and promote Winslowshire, which by the way is growing like a weed.

We are now up to 35 vendors and 18 performers, and we may even get a chance to be plugged on A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH Radio (http://www.wbgh.org/celtic). I e mailed Mr. O'Donovan myself, and he wrote back that he's willing to plug our show on his show, and to help us out with the people from the ICC (that's the Irish Cultural Center's Festival which goes on in Canton, MA, website is http://www.iconsfestival.com/ ).

I also contacted a few companies around the area to see if we can possibly get more parking, and sponsorship. Even Wheaton College (http://www.wheatoncollege.org) is helping us a bit.

Every little bit helps, and I certainly appreciate the support we have gotten so far.

I think this year will be great fun, and I can't wait to see everyone!
