Ren Faire News

I heard some interesting news today - could be good or bad, depending on your point of view. Apparently, San Bernardino County officials and the owners of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Devore are making plans to dissolve their contract. If this goes through, there will be no Ren Faire in Devore this year. You can read the article in today's San Bernardino Sun. As you can guess, a lot of people are in a tizzy about this. However, there are several smaller fairs that will be going on around the same time, and these may benefit from the decrease in competition. I know I plan to spend more time at the Koroneburg Festival in Corona this year.

I will post more information as it comes along. I'm a lurker on several Ren Faire Yahoo groups, and there's a lot of activity there right now. Nothing is set in stone right now, and it's possible that the involved parties could iron out their differences between now and April - after all, it would be a big loss of revenue for the county.
