  • “Fresh Connections at Faire” initiative

    New Friends of Faire project

    The content revolves around one person’s involvement with the Friends of Faire (FoF), a group of volunteers who work at local Renaissance faires to keep attendees hydrated and safe throughout the season. The author is a season member of this group and had some benches made by a craftsman, DG, to donate to FoF. They were happy with the results and later asked the craftsman to make more benches, tables, and taller tables. Eventually, he completed the task and the author was happy with the result. The article doesn’t provide many details about the craftsmanship or the design but rather focuses on the process leading up to the final product. The author also promotes the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI, as an excellent event worth attending. The overall tone of the content is positive and supportive of the volunteer group, their efforts, and the craftsperson involved.

  • Project Faire’s New Companions

    New Friends of Faire project

    The author is a photographer who takes pictures at renaissance faires, with the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI being their favorite. They are also a member of Friends of Faire (FoF), a volunteer organization that keeps faire-goers hydrated and safe. FoF has both season memberships and day passes for people to join. In 2012, the author had two benches made by DG to donate to FoF. The day before they delivered the benches, the author’s dad asked them to pick up his bench as he was downsizing to a condo and couldn’t bring it with him. In 2013, FoF asked DG to make more benches and tables, paying him the “friends and family” rate. The furniture remains durable and in great condition. During the fall, the head of FoF asked DG to make more benches and tables, which they have done.
