Ok guys. I see a lot of these threads getting clogged up with venting, ranting, and general comments.
I think it would help to keeps some of these threads on topic, and only deal with cold hard facts. Not feelings, or wishes, or theories.
So I am making this thread for you to use for those kinds of things. Kind of a general thread where we can just talk about what is going on, ask questions, and bounce ideas off each other.

Tamboinio's comment in the "Replies" to the "OHIO NEWS HERALD" Aug. 3rd front page article on the GLMF is --- ah, hum-mm... VERY TELLING ...
He says (Quote) : "I just don't like the Faire." BUT, he won't REALLY say why.
And, he says that any money lost to the County is " irrevelent".
He also says that he "has a proper view of what is good for people." Does that mean that HE PERSONALLY WILL DECIDE what is good for people?
(Sigh...) I have sadly known FAR, FAR TOO MANY people like him in my life. One person like him would be way too much.
(Actually, I think that if he is given enough time to talk at the Trustees Meeting he will "hang himself" with his self-absorbed opinions and domineering attitude.

countess, I just posted in the thread about the news article....I think that comment was posted by a friend of the Faire who knows at least as much as everyone here about the latest conflicts, and the tone and words were designed as a sarcastic jab at the trustee's position. I kind of hope it WASN'T a member here -- I think there will be enough hostility at the public meeting without drawing additional attention like that.

Dear Celtic Wench---
I hope; I hope that that comment supposedly by Tamborinio in the replies to the "News Herald " article is meant to be sarcastic. I hope it really wasn't by him.
I truly am slow to anger and a person who finds that sort of thing very, very upsetting...
I agree with you--- Why did that reply by "Tamborinio" have to be "Posted" ?
...All this is so sad. It really has the potential to wear me down.

I agree with you, countess. Many thanks to all who are working so diligently to obtain the facts, and organizing the pre-meeting(s). Preparing everyone for what might be the final battle in the war to keep GLMF alive!
I'm sure everyone involved has a headache and is sick to their stomach by now.
We were discussing this today as we were working on the Memorial Gardens, trying to come up with some alternative strategies to help the faire continue without all this...stuff. We know we don't want GLMF to disappear. I mentioned that when I was working at Native American Powwows we would run into similar situations from time to time. Our solution was to instead of "selling" our crafts, we would offer them for a "donation" amount. It's all semantics, but it worked for those venues. Not sure how it could work in this case, but just kicking around some ideas. Grasping at straws.
Feel free to tell me how insane it is, or add to it somehow.
Any other equally insane thoughts out there for keeping our faire going...should the...(be nice, Jezzy)...trustee get his way?

Trevor...I like it...Thinking out loud. I wonder when the last time the Trumbull Township Trustees invited the Red Cross Bloodmobile to park over at there garage to get donations of much needed blood? I wonder when they last invited several animal shelters to set up displays and try to find homes for unwanted dogs and cats? I wonder when any of them last put a smile on someones face who was wheelchair bound? I could go on..... Allyn

I feel I need to clarify a point Countessofmidnight made in reply #2. She stated; "That as many of us that can attend who are Trumbull COUNTY residents definitely should."
Trumbull COUNTY, and Trumbull TOWNSHIP are two entirely different political entity's. The city of Warren, Ohio is located in TRUMBULL COUNTY. The GLMF is located in TRUMBULL TOWNSHIP, which is itself located in ASHTABULA COUNTY.
I thought this point should be made Chrystal clear before someone starts writing letters to the Trumbull County Commissioners who will simply be scratching their heads going "What the hell are they talking about? We don't have any Medieval Faire."
HANK.

Hmmm, maybe we should put a medieval faire in their county, Hank! LOL! Just another insane thought seeping from my quiet desperation. Good thing Trevor gave us "emotional" types a place where we can vent, so when we show up at the meetings,we'll be better at keeping control of ourselves. Thanks, Trevor!

First of all no one is shutting down our faire, Everyone in Geneva and Geneva on the Lake are involved, We will have channel 19, 8 news there confirmed, waiting to hear from 3 & 5 Quit being negative and get busy. Get a notebook and interview people on the streets, ask them name, city state, what they like best about the faire, and how many years they've been coming. I did find out Ron literally took our Trumbull Fire Department away and now I have fireman all coming out in uniform to take it back. I also have two fireman candidates to run and I will have all the signatures they need at royal registry or before the meeting. We can not wear costumes, but I think we should all wear fun hats and tell how much fun the faire is and that it is a family show and we really love it. All performers and vendors bring your signs what a great opportunity for all the publicity we are going to get. Every employee bring a sign saying we love the lemonade, roses, we love the giant turkey legs, the jousting, the royal court. Save our faire. We love Larry. We love our fireman. So no more doom and gloom, this is the best thing that ever happened to the faire. This weekend is Toga Weekend Huzzah! Now back to business,
I need someone to put better directions of signs this way to faire in Hartsgrove and Geneva I also need someone to go to all the businesses in Hartsgrove and give them the heads up and to write our congressmen and tell how much the faire means to them and how much money they will lose without it
Also, this is going to be big, I have an article that is probably going to get me slapped with a lawsuit but God will take care of me and all will be well for the cause. Read the Star Beacon the Opine. I need to ask that if anyone reads an article in the paper to cut it out and save it and please give it to me at the Royal Registry I'm making a scrapbook for my friends Larry and Cindy.
I have two patrons who one is a private detective who is getting me information on these three stooges. Remember folks "What you say speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you are saying: We have one spokesperson and we need to let them do most of the talking.
I just want to thank everyone involved, this will be the best publicity we ever received work it to our advantage people. Love Conquers All, Chocolate does the rest!
One of the biggest complaints from Miss Grumpy at the Zoning Board was that according to her we get paid cash and no one files taxes. Everyone is responsible for their own taxes, you must claim a certain amount. This puts money back into Trumbull Township, this helps the community and the roads. I know you have to make a certain amount before you have to claim it. Me or someone check with an accountant and find out what that amount is. We have to all file income taxes even if it is cash.
What we really need is proof of where all the Trumbull Township money goes to and how much each of these people make and are they spending it on frivolous vacations or whatever. I do know from working at courts and police departments and commissioners office that all of this is public information. These people have dodged these questions for years, it is a criminal offense to not produce this as they are a public figure. I do know the commissioners office has to keep this on record and I am headed there after this
I am trying to get Haus from WKKY to come to the faire and interview people over the air. Also, 107.5 the fox and those guys will be putting it on the air shortly I had to show them proof. So I did!
Again, I did confirm that we are going to have a meeting the night before and rehearse and get our facts straight with our spokesperson at 7pm August 12 at the faire. We only get out of this what we put into it.
We need Ron to quote his oath he took as an attorney and a trustee in public. This man really can't help himself, after all his address is 6666 Dawsey Road, Rock Creek, That explains alto! So if we show him love, and kindness, and how happy we are instead of how grumpy he is it will bring more business to the faire. This man doesn't have a chance with me and all of you and the communities involved.
The law of attraction works like this, whatever we put out to the universe will come back to us. If we are putting negative thoughts and anger out there, that's what we are going to get in return. If we give people, love,hope, fun, and smiles, that's what we are going to get in return. HuZZAH! You all need one of my wishing stones, some of Miss Donna's glitter, and my complimentary peanuts.
Also, I will be on my way to the Health Inspector, there is one person there that really is a help to us, I'm going to get proof that we are all up to code and all our food is off the ground and we have more than the required amount of privies. I already proved that Larry and Cindy pay all their property taxes and are up to date on everything.
The trustees are very bitter and angry and have been for years. They may have reason to be, they are entitled to their opinion. I believe opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one, but we need to change these peoples minds and show them how much good we bring to all who enter and surrounding areas. I cannot offer Ron free tickets because he is not allowed on the property.
I also found out that back in 1997 Ron filed a case against Larry for $2 and another for $13 Public Record at the courts.
My best friend use to be Tim Boyce , he died in a horrible accident a few years ago.in Alaska on his Harley. He was a fireman, EMT, Police officer and a friend. I am doing this for Tim and for Larry. We are taking back our Trumbull Township and our community. We are going to put jobs and money back in the township and the Fre Dept. Did you know that Trumbull Township had the best Fire Dept in Ashtabula County. We are the largest county in Ohio. We want it that way again. So let's make it happen
Tippy has a story to tell about his land, make sure his story is heard.
I did contact the sheriff department and they are going to help direct traffic and keep the peace. No haters at this meeting. We are better than these people, and no cussing and no obsessive cleavage here.
MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR THAT LARRY AND CINDY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SO THEY ARE NOT SLAPPED WITH SLANDER CHARGES. BLAME IT ON ME, BLAME IT ON THE RAIN (SONG) BLAME IT ON THE PEOPLE IN THE TRUSTEE DEPT. ANYONE BUT LARRY AND CINDY. ONE PERSON CAN CHANGE THE WORLD AND I WANT THAT PERSON TO BE ME
WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE TO GO DOOR TO DOOR IN TRUMBULL TOWNSHIP TO GET THE WORD OUT, GET THE ADDRESSES OF ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE BOARDS AND AVOID THEM. ALL OTHERS NEED TO BE ADVISED AS THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE MOST INFLUENCE. DON'T FORGET YOU NOTEBOOKS AND A BLUE PEN! ANYTHING WROTE TO THE UNIVERSE IN BLUE PEN HAPPENS FASTER. TIS WELL!
NEWSPAPERS WILL BE THERE ALSO
THE DEADLINE TO PUT IN TO RUN AGAINST THESE GUYS IS AUGUST 20 SO I HAVE TO GO NOW I HAVE THINGS TO DO! I'LL GET BACK TO YOU SOON.
OH YEAH, I PLASTERED THE TOWN WITH HALLOWEEN KNIGHTS FLYERS AND THEN I FOUND OUT THEY ARE NOT SURE THEY ARE GOING TO DO THIS. I HAD ALL POSITIVE FROM ROYAL REGISTRY AND THE COMMUNITY WANTS IT AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO THIS TO LET THEM KNOW HOW ALIVE AND WELL WE ARE! Plus it will be fun! so please give Larry and Cindy positive messages on how much we want this!
LOVE AND PEACE LARRY AND CINDY'S BIGGEST FAN! ME
(Meeting at Feast Hall, will start on time ) No late comers please, we have a lot to cover.
GOOD MORROW! GET BUSY!

Cheryl, you are amazing!
Did the new channels return your call?
I left several messages for Carl Monday and Bill Shield .. 19 and 8.
No calls have been returned.
I did speak with the secretary for the Chairman and CEO of Sherwin Williams, Christopher Connor. His secy mentioned he is on the road traveling-has his laptop . His secretary has my name and cell number..she will call me back ..she wanted to know what Taburrino's beef is with the faire.. I enlightened her a bit...
She was curious about attending the Trustee's meeting..
I doubt that she will drive the distance, I let her know what was going on.
What else can I do? Since you've got the media coverage, maybe I should contact the Plain Dealer and let them know as well.. LC
