This is a chance to come support the Faire, the faire that we fought for over the summer and need to continue fighting for. You will be able to experience sides of the cast that some have never seen. We have two great acts also coming to support us, The Dueling Fools and Terry Griffith(weather permitting), and perform for your entertainment. This is a going to be a great time and a great chance to show your support.

I'll be bringing a sound system but only one mic on a stand. Anyone wishing to use it are welcome but if you need more than one mic, you will have to bring it with you.
It will be a fun night as well as for a good cause.

I was on my way and made it to Conneaut Ohio and then the snow hit. I couldn't see the road so I returned to Erie which wasn't an easy drive either. I'm not a big fan of winter!

Well we certainly seem to have some interesting weather patterns. Bunnie and I attended this and Avaloch had less snow then we have in Huntsburg and we only had about an inch. If you folks coming in from the East get away from that damn lake you will have less travel problems.
The event was a lot of fun. Terry Griffith made it up from Pittsburgh. Good to see him once again. Most of those in attendance were either cast members or vendors. There were a few faces I did not recognize so I can only assume they might have been patrons. The cast put on a good performance as they always do. They had a Chinese auction and Bunnie won four tickets to a Scrappers game. They are a minor league baseball team from the Warren area. So I guess next summer we will be going to a ball game. Sounds like fun.
All in all it was a pretty good time. The feast hall was reasonably warm. They had a couple of space heaters and the fireplace going, so while it was by no means a sauna it wasn't too bad either. At least if you were properly dressed. All in all, not a bad Thursday night.
HANK.

We were cold but our hearts were warm. It's good to see friends and come together for a worthy cause. We not only raised some money but spirits as well. I know several people from Pittsburgh who wanted to be there and I'm sure the fund will receive some donations from people who were there in spirit. Let's keep all the good thoughts going into the new year and into another great faire in 2010.
I enjoyed seeing friends again and I hope we can gather again soon.

I wanted to come and but winter makes it so hard to travel sometimes. I will be sending my donation in! Do I just send it to the office?

All donations should be made to the faire and sent to the faire address. All mail still goes directly to Larry even when he isn't there. He is the only one who has access to get it into the bank accounts. This way the mail doesn't have to be forwarded to him once again or wait until we get home for him to get it to put it into the bank.
I'll will make sure he knows of this and those who do want to help by donating. This way he can keep track of all donations on his end as I am sure he would like to know who is donating it means a lot to him.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support.

Greetings Everyone,
I would like to kick off the 2010 Faire season by donating $100 to the GLMF Legal Fund in the name of my daughter Princess Emma. She and I have enjoyed the faire for the past seven years and have made many wounderfull friends and had many great times as well. Most of all, we owe all this fun to Larry for hosting this event each year and making it our Faire home each year. We all know his battle with the trustee's so enough said about that.
I know times are rough and many are out of work, but I challenge each of us who attend each year to send something, anything you can spare to Larry to let him know how much the faire means to us. Every bit helps even if it's only a dollar.
Thanks Larry for all you do...
Sir Michael of Mentor and Princess Emma
