Wow! I had a great time!  There were far more children in the crowd than I would have liked, but we still did very well. Four shows a day. Not much strolling because the site IS small. But the Pirate Ship stage is awesome and the weather was gorgeous. Saturdays crowds were not so hot, but strangely Sunday was PACKED. We had good shows, nice tips, and Judged the Costume contest,( I still can't figure out how We got suckered into that). Oh! I got to See Captain Steve! I haven't seen him since Amana Colonies Ren faire(I will always have a special place in my heart for that faire) and we teased him and I made off with the bone from the off beat experience again, and passed it off to another more desrving wench. I also wenched my way to a free t-shirt. So I was pretty happy. Fun Fun Fun. Also thinking about starting to do the Victorian Christmas Caroling thing. Talking to Greg about it. If not for greg then still going to do it For the Historical Society in Ottumwa.

We have been having an outstanding time at faire these past couple weeks. Absolutely Wonderful. Between all the singing strolling, Three shows a day, and 2-3 cameo appearances with the Off Beat Experinece I can barely talk. But I love every minute of it
