Ren-Faire Time AGAIN!

YES! May is almost here! Actually this year I don't have to wait til May. 

The first weekend of the OKRF is April 28th and 29th! Yeah! 

I know some get tired of hearing about renaissance faires. This is one thing I enjoy outside of everything else and yet it incorporates all the things I love about life: people, friends, nature, fun, adventure, dressing up, etc.

Michelle makes the best corsets and outfits anywhere! You can wear them for steam punk events, ren-faires, comic cons, .....just AWESOME! And...SHE is the greatest person...sweet and remembers people and will talk to you any time. Not many shop owners as busy as her stay as sweet, upbeat and positive. She really enjoys what she does and it shows in her work and her personality.

 The Jolly Rogers are my favorite pirate group ever! I have to catch at least one show every now and then.... I try for one show for every day I am at faire but that doesn't always work out. Schedule conflicts happen. However, I do have their cds and can stop in and say hi now and then :D

OKRF wouldn't be the same without that scottish rogue that heckles and hassels ren-faire patrons all in good humor and fun to get you involved in the whole faire experience! He is sweet and jovial and makes the celtic corner a must visit! I look for him every visit to fair....

This photo is of a Eurasian Eagle Owl which you can see at the Royal Gauntlet: Birds of Prey show!
Meet the King's Master Falconer and his crew. The birds are an awesome site and the flights and educational experience are lasting memories meant for the entire family!

As this weekend draws near, I get more and more impatient! Come and join us!
See the castle website here: www.okcastle.com  for more information. The Castle is on facebook too! Find  Royal Gauntlet, Damsel in this Dress, and The Jolly Rogers on Facebook also!
If you happen to visit OKRF, leave a comment here...leave a comment even if you don't!

OKRF: OKlahoma Ren-Fair

I love ren-fairs! I don't get to attend enough of them! I would probably live at any and all renfairs if I didn't have a family....but I do and I am thankful for all of them! Face it. They put up with me for the entire month of May every year and my disappearances to The Castle of Muskogee for my annual adventure!
This year I am hoping to make it to the Masked Ball and maybe the Ceilidh (Ka-lee).

Oklahoma's annual ren-fair is usually held all five weekends in May. THIS year, it starts at the end of April. Opening day is April 28th, Saturday because May only has 4 weekends in 2012.
Last year they added the "Italian Quarter"! So beautiful!!!...This year there is a spanish mission, a new pirate ship/gift shop, more gypsy wagons, and who knows what else awaits!


Royal Gauntlet hosts the "Birds of Prey" show:

Check out Royal Gauntlet's other fair locations on facebook and their blogsite!

If you see them at OKRF (the Oklahoma Renaissance Fair) then help support the birds: make a donation! (Thanks!)

My favorite corset maker will be at the Castle of Muskogee also:

The owner of Damsel in this Dress is Michelle. She is awesome! She has a shop on etsy.com and artfire.com and she also blogs right here on blogspot!!

Another OKRF must-see is "The Jolly Rogers"!! They are my all time FAVORITE pirate act!

Beware! Some of their shows are PG-13..

and the fair wouldn't be OKRF without ANGUS!

Alot goes into a Ren-fair and I know not all my Favorites are mentioned here....there just isn't enough room!

So go to the fair! See it for yourself! Maybe I'll see you THERE! In the mean time....

 ....now that you know the shows I enjoy...and what I am looking forward to...

Tell me about YOU! 

Have you ever been to OKRF?
