The weather was beautiful, the setting is lovely, the jousters (nonchoreographed) were good and the SCA supported in a HUGE way; all in all it was a good Faire.

Attendance was really good though, for some merchants, the purse strings were a little tighter than hoped for – but with the economy, especially locally, what it is that was to be expected.

All in all a good Faire and I highly recommend it.

Now I have a question. Since there are very few Renaissance Faires in the Philadelphia area (West Windsor Lions, Wheaton Village, Lakewood Lions and Wrightstown (PA), why do Lakewood and Wrightstwon have to fall on the same date? Lakewood is in its 17th year, Wrightstown in something like its 6th; both are SCA demos (and Lakewood was a Royal Progress). What does it take to get the one person behind the Wrightstown event to agree to drop his event back a week (or bring it forward a week)?

This is a great area, lots of people, usually good weather (barring a hurricane), lots of SCA and other potential supporter groups and still we have two events just a tiny bit over an hour apart.

It makes it hard on the SCA, on the merchants, and especially hard of the really enthusiastic Rennies who pretty much have to choose between these two events when, through cooperation, both of these Faires could draw more people through the gates, more merchants, more acts, more everything?
