| Hey JessTuss, Can you recommend a good RenFaire in the New England Area for a first timer?  |

Of course. The biggest and most elaborate one, that would give any first timer a good glimpse of RenFaire life, is King Richard's Faire, in Carver, MA. It is set up as a village, in wooded area, with many vendors, fascinating food, and some real fun entertainment. And no, I don't work for them.  http://www.kingrichardsfaire.net/ |

| There is also a fair held in Hebron CT: www.ctfaire.com Living in NC, I've attended the fair in Charlotte for the past three years. Someday I might have enough confidence to go costumed and take part in the role playing, but for now I am an active observer of the revelry! I am glad to hear there are so many festivals in other states. Keep a good thing going! |

| Hi Jesstuss. I always have a good time at KRF, but it's so pricey and tourist-trapey. Still, I can't wait for the warm weather and a chance to go out there again. Is it wrong of me to enjoy both Renn Faires and the SCA? -Laurion |

| OK, here's a good list for renfaires across the United States... http://www.the-meissners.org/ren.html I also really like the Sterling Renfaire in NY and Hammond Castle, the latter of which because there is a lot of acting for children, and it's set in a really neat castle  And I agree with the tourist trap, Laurion- but I also admit to a nice collection of plastic beer pints from the years I've gone. |

| My wife and I have gone to the New York Renaissance Faire every year for the last 5 years. We love it. It is better then any of the faires we have attended in Connecticut so far. They have a web site if anyone needs info. www.renfair.com If anyone has attended any other really great Renaissance Faires in Connecticut and the surrounding states please let me know. Thanks, Dean  |

| Ive been to King Richards Faire in Carver and it is just beautiful, friendly people, lovely vendors, just good in every way; excpecially the jousting. A few of my friends have worked there and they say it was such a good experience. Im such a geek when it comes to ReinFaires so I would love to go to the ones you guys are suggesting. |
