Of the 2012 season, it has been a great 7 weekends, only two Saturdays were rained out, but all in all the faire did well. I (as Alphonse) had a most enjoyable time with participants and patrons. Last weekend was a little warm with temperatures in the 80's, this weekend will be a YIP!, with temperatures in the upper 80's, so, lots of water and coolling down time.

After this weekend, depending on the weather in Dallas, Alphonse will make one or two showings at Scarborough faire on its opening weekend, after that, he will be retired from faire life until next October for Texas Renfaire. I love all three faires equally, Sherwood is close and in a cooler time of the year, Scarborough has many friends and a fun court dance that I love to do, and Texas Renfaire has the fun of camping out over the weekend and meeting all the people that work there during and after hours, and the fans, of course.

I don't plan on having any problems with the heat, but wish me luck anyway.
