If a faire you've planned to go to, vend at or perform at this spring has been canceled (like the Norman Medfaire), please check the surrounding areas for other options.
I just got word from Grim, the Vendor Coordinator at the Avalon Faire in Kilgore, Texas. Vendors can contact him to see what they can work out about setting up at their expanding site next month.
I went to Avalon a few years ago and loved it! I'm going to try to make it back this spring.
There are also other events in Texas (Sherwood Forest Faire which is worth the drive, and Scarborough Faire) this spring. Vinita, OK will have 2 different events on back-to-back weekends this month as well. The Heavener (OK) Runestone Fest is still on next month as well. You can find info on them and Wichita's Great Plains Renfest on the Midwest Faires Page on this site.
I'll update faire dates this weekend on my list to reflect who's open this year and who isn't. Feel free to drop me a line if I'm missing an event. Grammercy!
Seeking adventure this weekend? Well, look no further than the Bluffwoods Renaissance Festival
in Saint Joseph, Missouri. (It's about an hour north of Kansas City.)
I can ensure that you will have a great time at this event. Good music, jousting and great vendors abound! Huzzah!

Good day, fyne people. You can find Renfest Info And Fun podcast # 9 now on Apple, iHeart, Podbean, Amazon, Player FM and/or Podchaser.
This podcast with Dan Zielinski of the Jenks Planetarium discusses how many people in the Medieval & Renaissance times depended on tracking the stars to survive.
Have you heard of Copernicus? His contribution to earth is discussed as well. He was definitely a rebel who feared for his life due to his discovery.
Feel free to tune in & I wish you faire travels to your next event!
Greetings & salutations. You can find Renfest Info And Fun podcast # 8 on on Apple, iHeart, Podbean, Amazon, Player FM and/or Podchaser.
The 8th episode contains nautical music. It is a tribute to Jesse Linder, Bard
who talked of making a nautical cd in 2019 but was not able to do so before he passed. I put songs in it from several artists for your listening pleasure.
I hope that you enjoy it.

Good day! Here is an interview about the 2nd Annual Gem of the Chikaskia Renaissance Festival in Blackwell, Oklahoma. Nikki Barnes is a hard-working coordinator who is dedicated to raising funds for girls in pageants.

Just in time for the weekend, I have been able to push out my 2nd podcast. You can find "Renfest Info And Fun" on Podbean, iHeart, Amazon, Player FM & Podchaser. (I'm still waiting for Apple Podcasts to publish the 1st one. It definitely looks like a 2 week delay before those go public.)
All of the performers gracious enough to let me play their music have their own FB page, website or can be found on music sites like Apple Music. If you can't locate 1 that you like, please send me a message. ENJOY!
