1) Which was the best NE-area faire overall?
Tough call. I'll cast my vote for King Arthur.

2) Which faire had the best value for admission?
At $10, the Hammond faires (KAF, RHF) can't be beat.

3) Which faire had the best cast overall (main cast and support cast, not indie acts)?
King Arthur again. The scenario came alive. The way the
kids responded to it was magic. Honorable mention: Maine

4) Which faire had the best actors in the cast?
Tough call again, but I'll say KRF, on the strength of
Rick Weber.

5) Which faire had the best independent acts?
CT.

6) Which faire had the best vendors?
Haven't been yet this year, but I'll still say KRF.

7) Which faire had the best scenario/storyline?
KAF. RHF came close, but KAF wins with the side story of
Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight.

8) Which faire had the best music (including cast shows and indie acts)?
Robin Hood, because of its kick-ass pub sing (as well as
Bedlam, Jovial Beggars, and Updyke's Rose)

9) Which faire had the best site?
Maine. No contest. But Hammond Castle gets an honorable mention.

10) Which faire had the best food?
Maine again.

11) Which faire had the best games?
Don't know.

12) Which faire had the best (cast) costumes?
Don't know.

13) Which faire had the best fights (cast or indie acts)?
Both KAF and RHF were great, but I'm guessing 3M (which
I didn't see) topped 'em all.

14) Which faire was the most kid-friendly?
Toss-up: KAF and RHF

15) Which faire are you most looking forward to next year?
Maine.

16) What was your favorite thing about any of the faires this past season?
At most faires, the "scenario" is a throw-away. At Dave Stickney's
faires (KAF, RHF, 3M), it's electrifying. I guess my favorite
thing this year was the beautifully sincere portrayal of the
story of Sir Gawaine at the KAF.

This year I vended at KAF, Stockwood (not a NE faire), RH, Festival of the Lion, 3M and CTRF. I patroned Vermont, Park City and Tux (not NE though).

1) Which was the best NE-area faire overall?

CTRF

2) Which faire had the best value for admission?

CTRF

Robin Hood

3M

CTRF...a large variety and consistantly high quality.

From a vending pov I am not really looking forward to one faire over another but I have to give major kudos to CTRF for their treatment of cast and vendors and overall ease of loading and unloading etc.

16) What was your favorite thing about any of the faires this past season?

I got to watch my bf sweating in a lot armor and rolling around on the ground with another guy ;) Ohohohoh and the chick fight *gryns and winks*

Cheers,
True
