Immuel Lutheran's Reformation Renfaire

Craigmeister • August 13, 2019

Good day. Early last fall, a school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma let me know that they were interested in expanding their annual Reformation Fair. They had heard that I visit a lot of Renaissance Faires and wanted to know if I could help advise them. I posted about the situation before I was able to arrange a meeting with their planners.

Their planners are some VERY busy teachers and I didn’t get a reply about a meeting for several months so I thought that I wouldn’t be needed. In the past few months though, the teachers’ schedules loosened up and we have had some meetings. So, in short, I’d like to announce the Immanuel Lutheran’s Reformation Renaissance Faire !

Due to other events at the school, it will be held on Saturday, November 2nd, 2019. However, the date in 2020 will be on October 24th. For all of you who are committed to the Hot Springs (AR) Medfaire or the King’s Medfaire in Glenpool (OK) this year, we would love to see you in 2020! This year, you could visit ILRRF and/or 1 of these Medfaires (or all 3 if you like driving).

There will be a free admission craft fair going on inside the school/church at the same time the Renfaire is going on outside. The Renfaire will be free for kids 10 & under or $5 for all over the age of 10. Most of the entertainment is already lined up but we will be taking vendor applications and perhaps a few performers who would work for tips and to sell cd’s, t-shirts, etc. The average attendance of the existing craft fair is about 800 people each year.

There should be plenty of fun things for kids and adults to do all day including archery and working trebuchets! This event will be held on church grounds so I’d appreciate it if you will tell me if I’m misbehaving that day. HUZZAH!

Tour Of Tulsa County Parks Suitable For A Renfaire Re-post

By Craigmeister • May 5, 2026
Good day. I am re-posting this link to a tour of different parks in Tulsa County that would be aptly suited to host a Renaissance Faire. If you have questions about any of them, prithee feel free to contact me at craig@meistersrealm.com If you would like to see them in person some Saturday or Sunday over the next month (before it gets hot), I can meet you & show you the different grounds. Tulsa is too big to not have its own Renfaire. If you could get 1% of the Metro population in the gates, that would be 8,000 - 10,000 patrons. That would be an amazing start! I know some people who would be willing to join the governing board and help put the event on as well. We can do this! Huzzah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6wdSba0848

Keep Jenks Planetarium Open Petition

By Craigmeister • April 25, 2026
Did you hear my interview with Dan Zielinski on Renfest Info And Fun podcast 2025 09? He runs the Planetarium in Jenks, OK. Well, Jenks Public Schools have decided to close their planetarium after this school year without hearing from the public or students. This is the Best planetarium in 3 states due to Dan's enthusiasm. The cost of its upkeep is much less than what Jenks spends on its sports programs and it serves all grades and the public. Could you please sign this petition to help keep it open? https://www.change.org/p/save-the-jenks-planetarium?recruiter=1173602455&recruited_by_id=4e6fa8f0-53c7-11eb-9205-7583bb47344e&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=psf_promote_or_share&utm_medium=facebook&utm_content=fht-491187842-en-us%3A8&share_id=kBy4CbJygB
