I'd like to let the Texas rabble know about a new start-up Ren-Faire in the Austin area; Sherwood Forest Faire. Opening weekend is 2/27/10.

Sherwood Forest Faire is located near Paige Texas, 35 miles east of Austin on US Hwy 290. The grounds cover 105 nicely wooded acres, currently consisting of 25 acres for the actual faireground area, expandable to 48 acres. Sherwood has a "medieval" theme, and the faire is set around the year 1189, the time of Richard the Lionhearted and Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

This faire is the result of lots of hard work and dedication on the part of a lot of folks in the Texas faire community, and it looks to be a good one.

I'll be there for opening day, hope to see ya'
