Hello everyone! ;D This is Dillasandra the Pickle Goddess. I just wanted to let people know that I have FREE cold beverages for cast and crew at the Sacred Pickle Grove. If you find yourself wilting from the heat this year as you wander about the Shire, stop by the Grove. I have ice-cold water, tea, and lemonade, free for the asking. Do not---I repeat, NOT risk dehydration. If I find that anyone has ignored my generous offer, and passed out from heat exhaustion, I will beat them to death with a pickle!! Do not annoy the Goddess!! Also, if you find yourself in need of a safety pin, band-aid, or (small) sewing repair, stop by the Grove. For the new people who may not know, the Sacred Pickle Grove is located in the Old World, across from the Stumble Inn, near the main food court. Look for a green and white striped shelter, and lots and lots of green. See you at Faire! Dillasandra

Thank you! that is so sweet Let me just take this opportunity to say that there are few things that irk me more on a faire day than a first aid tent full of cast members who bit it because they didn't drink enough water. With all the lovely people who are willing to hydrate us, there is just no excuse for that. THere are lots better reasons to end up in a fist aid tent anyway. Our chess board warriors will probably need a band-aid or two. The gypsies might even get rock burn from al the bowing and scraping. I remember my very first year when in my first five minutes of a real faire day I ended up in the tent because, in an overzealous attempt to promote a show, I fell and cut my knee open.

I was in first-aid twice last year for throwing my knee out. ^^' I was rather pissed, too, because I'd had my second surgery a year or so before and hadn't dislocated it till then. Blah.
Dillasandra - Are you still providing pickle juice as well? Steve/Sketch was saying that it was a good way to rehydrate and get nutrients back into the body (because last year we had a problem where people hydrated plenty - too much! so much that all the water flushed the nutrients out of their system and they collapsed. Oops).

Patty---Of course! If you want pickle juice, you may have pickle juice! ( Hope your knee is better.) Onyx---you're very welcome. Also, FYI----my "cousin" and fellow Goddess Poison Ivy (don't let the name scare you) can do minor repairs on eyeglasses. If you've scratched or broken a lens, I'm afraid you're out of luck, but if it's just a matter of replacing a screw or an adjustment, she can help.

Yes, the thanks is thirded from me! Huzzah for the Pickle Goddesses! It was so nice to actually have flavored beverages rather than just melted ice, which is what I've depended on in past seasons.

Our pleasure? OUR pleasure?? I buy the stuff, and Dillasandra makes it! All you do is pour! *(Poison Ivy takes her Ivy Wand, and smacks Kayenne upside the head.)*Alright, ALRIGHT!!! Stop it, both of you! *(Dillasandra steps between the two. Pouting, Kayenne sits down rubbing her head. Poison Ivy steps back, muttering imprecations.)*Now, Ivy, you know Kayenne made the fruit tea this year. Yes. Well. Kayenne is quite right, you are all most welcome. I know what it's like, having been in cast myself, years ago. In fact, my first year in cast on one of those miserable, humid, sticky-hot days, the temperature in the high 90's I was wandering around the Shire, just dying of thirst. The only water the cast had access to was warm sulfer water. One of the merchants called me over to his booth and gave me a glass of wonderful, icy cold water. I still remember how good that tasted. It was the best water I ever had. So that's why I try to provide cold beverages to the cast. And Maid Marion, I agree---watching Prince John toss back that pickle juice WAS impressive!! (Yeah, that was cool!! (Ivy) ) ;D

Ah, Tom "Prince John" slamming back Pickle juice...I am sure if it was in the lanes he made a big bit about it..... I was beginning to think the pickle vendors at TN were thinking I was the weird one when I would stop by for a bit of the juice instead of the pickle almost every day...but knowing you guys do it to makes me feel less like a freak! Thanks!

One question for the pickel goddesses. Are you allowed a tip container? I didn't notice one of the table. I know you do what you do out of the goodness of your hearts, but I am sure there are a few of us that would like to contribute to the care you give the cast, and others.
