Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Bardic Competition Begins with a Royal Twist!

The Mesa County Fantasy Faire’s Bardic Stage will open with a bang — or rather, a Get Down!

I, Shalini as the Jester of Cleves, will kick off the festivities with a playful lip‑sync performance inspired by Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves — reimagined as a cheeky jester who’s living her best post‑divorce life!

Expect laughter, sass, and a royal dose of fun as we set the tone for the competition filled with creativity and courage.

Then it’s your turn to take the stage!

Sing, recite, perform, or tell a tale — the Bardic Competition is open to all who dare to entertain the realm.

Sign up to compete here: https://forms.gle/vpZFP8Zc2bkaSkAQ8

We want the spots to fill quickly — claim your place among the bards before the scroll closes!

Let’s make this year’s Bardic Competition one for the history books.

Welcoming Serpent Willow to the Mesa County Fantasy Faire!

Step into the charm of an old‑world shoppe and discover the handcrafted magic of Serpent Willow, a sibling‑run artisan booth where every piece is made with heart, skill, and a touch of fantasy flair.

* Their Creations *
Beautifully crafted wood and leather purses, belt pouches, accessories, and classic leather belts — each designed with that perfect blend of Renaissance‑faire whimsy and timeless charm — alongside hand‑built lanterns, screen‑printed fantasy maps, carved pendants, hair accessories, and custom bottle racks that pair perfectly with Serpent Willow’s belt pouches. Every item feels like it belongs in a traveler’s pack or a cozy medieval market stall.

* A Booth with Atmosphere *
Serpent Willow is more than a shop — it’s an experience. Their display is crafted to feel like a quaint old shoppe tucked along a cobblestone lane, inviting guests to browse, linger, and enjoy the ambiance.

* Roll for a Prize! *
Adventurers of all ages are invited to try their luck at the Natural 20 Draw! Roll a d20 — and if fate smiles upon you with a natural 20, you’ll receive a delightful trinket or bauble. Kids adore it, and honestly… so do the grown‑ups.

We’re thrilled to have Serpent Willow joining us and bringing their unique blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and interactive fun to the Faire. Be sure to stop by, say hello, and explore their treasures!

Having lunch with my hubby at the Incubator, and guess who I ran into — Lori and the Hot Ice Cafe crew. They really are some of the best people around.

If you’re fortunate enough to spot them out and about, try one of their June specials. Otherwise, you’ll definitely see them at faire.

I’m having a Lavender Haze.
