After all the anticipation, I'm totally sad and angry now. I don't know if I'll be able to hang out at the faire as much as I'd planned. Without going into details that aren't mine to share, my friend has had a run-in with TPTB. Friend is/was a vendor, and I was going to help in the booth. Apparently they were not been accepted to the faire and have already been replaced as merchants. At some point, communication between TPTB and this vendor disintegrated - more than that is not mine to say. I really don't even know if there is any "blame" to assign. I'm just........  |

Sorry to hear that  Without knowing who the vendor was, I don't know if I have heard anything about this situation or not. |

That is very sad news there BK. She was on my list of stopping and maybe picking something up. |

And this lack of communication surprises us...how? It is unfortunate that for as long as the Faire has been running, it seems to stumble to an Opening as if this were the first year for anything!

Grrrrr, this was my favorite place.....at least you purchase Sofi's garb online....but still.........  Fiona's Fineries is located in Mentor, OH and is open throughout the week... I'm disappointed that both these places won't be here this year. Fiona's has merchanted at several recent SCA events and I bet she'll be at our Pennsic event again this year. Does anyone know why Lil Green Dragyn won't be back? I noticed a while back their website was gone so are they even still in business? I got some nice trim from her last year and my friend's b-friend got a few nice shirts. |

Well, since BK posted it, I'll say now that I was referring to Fiona's as well.
I really don't like what I'm hearing.

Now...that being said, Sofi's still doing festivals....so, mayhaps, Bernie, who was working the booth decided not to return.....but that's just a guess. As far as festival's they will be at: www.sofisstitches.com/pages/employment.htmlOr, stores: www.sofisstitches.com/pages/employment.html |

Bernie/Lil Green Dragyn will not be back this year. This is straight from Bernie. From my understanding much of that decision was due revenue, or more accurately lack of revenue generated last year.
She lost her website due to server/host computer business that just dissappeared...poof... and as far as she knows without anyway to recover her email/website. She is/was considering creating a new site (with a new site name) but was still undecided.
She and Lil Green Dragyn are still a viable entity as she is making wedding attire for Michelle and I. Last I knew she is planning on attending Pennsic this year.

Bernie tells me they'll be attending as patrons at least once.  |

BTW-- Another vendor (not any mentioned here) has told me that they have had to make repeated calls/e-mails/etc this year and last & they don't get confirmed until the last minute. And they've been coming for years, and have their own building!  |

BK Mentor is a far drive for us but maybe I could talk John into taking a drive up there sometime.
