I know these are public records and all but I'm still sort of uncomfortable throwing it out there to twist in the wind. I wouldn't mind in the least if you were to delete this post if you are able to get the info you want from it.

I respected your wishes and deleted the link.
I got the direct link emailed to me anyway. Seems simple enough, the judgement case was closed because the faire filed for bankruptcy. (a case which has been ongoing since 2008 FWIW) Not really that big a deal. Business ventures do it all the time. Doesn't really mean anything as far as what is going to happen with this faire season.

one of the documents contains the following:
04/12/2011 NOTICE OF BANKRUPTCY, CERT OF SERVICE FILED BY MALCOLM S DOUGLAS (Attorney) on behalf of LAWRENCE RICKARD

Yes. They filed for bankrupcy which automatically killed any type of legal proceding attempting to collect any money from them.
Again, it doesn't mean it will affect the faire season.
Big business does it all the time. And customers rarely notice anything at all. The car companies just did it. Just about any time, one or more of the major airlines are in bankruptcy. They just keep right on running along. Works the same for smaller business as well. We just don't hear about it, because it doesn't make the evening news.
Until I hear anything different, I am betting the faire will go on as usual.

I hope so as well, Trev. I know alot of us have to pre-arrange our summer vacation and days we need to take off to allow us to take care of things we'd normally do on the weekend (instead of going to Faire) like yardwork, taking care of elderly parents and their needs and yards, personal errands/doctors appts. etc...and maybe GLMF can't openly discuss this which I understand as well...but there are some serious communication issues here that are ticking people off and need to be addressed. Come on, guys...we're on your side!

I stop by this board every once in a while, and I'm always confused by how upset and suspicious everyone seems to be. I understand that you care about the faire; we all do.
GLMF is going to be rolling right along. So don't worry! Just look forward to a fantastic summer.

Life is complicated enough, without looking for more stuff to screw things up.

I agree with Guest and Trevor. Bankruptcy happens all the time with businesses. GM's finances are crap but they're still producing cars. Until the owner or someone from his personal staff directly announces it, I'm assuming Faire is going to run as usual.
I'm excited about this season. I hear some new things are happening and I know a few cast members are really excited too. I'm going to try and spread the word to get some of my friends who have never been here come up and tell them to get people to come too. Get as many people as you can to come out and enjoy the festivities!

Yeah, I can't understand why anyone who paid for something in early December but has only received excuses to date would be upset and suspicious, either! /roll eyes

Hey, I'm a BIG supporter of the Faire,Cast/Vendors/Entertainers BUT...
If it looks like sh*t and smells like sh*t, then it's sh*t which would describe the Trustee's and their slimy way of dealing with things where the Faire is concerned...so, where I'd like to believe that the fantasy world of Medieval/Ren. Faires is not tainted or affected by politics, egos and small minded people...I know better and would rather be prepared and informed. Is it going to keep me from attending Faire? No...but I would like some information about how things are shaping up...I too would love to hear about the "new things happening" and what the story line/themed weekends are and what entertainers are going to be there. 81 days till Faire and I have a better idea of whats going to happen at MDRF (which starts in 130+ days) than I have for GLMF...
I'm just sayin' a lil' communication would be nice...

I heard the new theme this year is Romeo and Juliet. The cast is set to start rehearsals first week of May and I hear they're all working really hard already for this season. I don't know much about office stuff, but I'm sure the owner is starting up. Maybe he's preoccupied with some legal stuff right now. It's possible.
If anyone is on FB, the cast director is as well. So is pretty much all cast and staff. Maybe you can catch them on there?

All well and good...but what's the purpose of having a Faire Web Site if one has to track down clues on FB? If there is info out there, it's the GLMF Web Site that should be updated to catch people's eye. I usually head to a Faire's Web Site for information, dates, Entertainment schedule, etc....not FB.
Thanks for the info, tho...
