Is there anyone in the Renfaire world that is like Marcus Lemonis (The Profit) or Robert Irvine (Restaurant Impossible)? Someone who can advise smaller or new Renfaires on what to change to become profitable in their 2nd or 1st year?
This person would need experience in starting faires, coordinating finances, finding sponsors, choosing grounds, showing how to lay out a village, picking the right kind of performers, not getting too many of the same kinds of vendors, charging the right amount to get in & of course pursuing the right kind of ADVERTISING.
I’m sure this person would want a fee or would want to invest in the faire & get a percentage of the profits. He or she would have to be able to travel around their region or country, be available for monthly meetings (via Zoom if it’s far from home) and be able to keep the board on course.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
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.
