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!

Who would like to meet in a park in the Tulsa Metro like Bixby's Haikey Creek Park (pictured) to discuss Renfaire experiences or ideas for bringing a Renfaire back to Tulsa? Vendors: Want to bounce ideas off of someone about what kind of things to sell? Performers: Have a new song or part of an act you want to try out? Patrons: Anything you want to see at Renfaires that could be brought to their attention? If any of these things appeal to you, send an e-mail to craig@meistersrealm.com or a message on the Book of Faces to Meisters Realm. Let me know what part of town you would like to meet at & what time on Saturday, October 17th. The sooner the response, the more time I would have to see if I can reserve a shelter. If we can have a successful get-together, we can look at doing these routinely. Huzzah!

Good day! Would you like to buy fireworks & support a local Renfest at the same time? You can go just west of Sand Springs (& Tulsa) to do just that. You can probably see some familiar faces at the same time. Help the Queensferry Renaissance Festival build up funds to bring excellent acts, maintain their grounds & pay for annual administrative items by buying things that go "BOOM" in the night (& day). Huzzah! https://www.facebook.com/events/1328177275961614?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22home%22%7D%2C%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22attachment%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%7D%5D%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D
