It has been a very good season so far for the Sherwood Forest Faire, as of this past Sunday, over 20,000 people, (and foxes and a raven) have come thru the gates. I was able to stay in almost all day these last 2 days, (March 3 & 4) as Alphonse. A lot of people have taken my picture, and many have told me that my costume/character was the best they had ever seen. (blushes)

Another nice thing is many of the repeat patrons from previous years, some, little kids mainly, have waited all year to come back and get their picture with me again. With my ability to purr on cue, I have captured the hearts of many ladies (and some guys, oops!).

Among others that showed up this last Saturday and Sunday was a Raven named Branwen, she is a very pretty raven as raven's go. Last year, she came in the form of a wildcat named Oshun, but has recently transformed. It was nice to meet her in both her raven and hooman personnas. We have friended on Facebook and hope to keep in touch.

To those thinking about coming to Sherwood Forest Faire, a little bit of vital information, tickets at the gate are 2 for 1 on Sunday before noon, so, if you think you can make it one Sunday, be there before noon and you can save more money for spending inside.

Alphonse will be at every weekend of the faire, including Friday, March 16th, the faire is open for a 3 day, Spring Break weekend. Only one Saturday will I not be there, Saturday, March 24, I will be away on special business, but will be there March 25, Sunday.
