The goblins have gathered their cabbage soup and returned to their hovels; the fairies are sleeping in their cottages and will not awaken until they are summoned for Yule. So allow us to thank all those who participated in this year's fantasy festival.
Jenny and the Weazels proved beyond measure why they are THE beloved musical act of Northeast Tennessee. They filled our stage, valley, and food court all weekend with a relaxing air that set a perfect mood for all who attended.
James Whipper is quite simply the best showman any producer could hope to book for a weekend of wandering onlookers. Our entire staff agreed that if you need a performer with something different he is 10 out of 10, you must hire him! Professional entertainment (and all the ladies agreed 100% photogenic) of the highest quality.
Midnight Society Images took some breathtaking photos both in our tavern and out on the grounds. Those who stopped by his studio in the tavern are going to have some genuine once in a lifetime portraits when he is done adding his editing mastery.
Everblade Academy brought some serious metal to the weekend. Hands on sword classes detailing the foundation of wielding a blade via the 7 cuts, combat demonstrations of both HEMA and gladiator combat, and classic games of log wrestling, spear throws, stone toss, and how to be swole like Kylo Ren.
Alliance Crossroads provided both crew and buskers to man the gates, and entertain the masses with banjo and drum. As always, a production crew without which nothing would run. No challenge surprises or slows down these larpers.
A special thank you to Honeyz Hive for being the sweetest, most enthusiastic vendor; always cheering on the fighters and performers and presenting the cutest little booth of books to whoever wandered along. Harold for his experience and calm hand offering assistance along this journey.
Our redheaded goblin queen of trash for easily stealing every scene with her riotously obnoxious personality. Elijah Haynes brought improv skill that cannot be praised enough. If you missed the goblin version of Pink Pony Club, you really missed something.
The crew of Tease of the Tennesseas, teaching women how to misbehave and presenting an after dark show that cannot be seen anywhere else. IYKYK....
Our fairies in the glen, Allison, Nolan, and of course, Granny Wampus.
Thank you to all of our other volunteers and families of those who spent their weekend bringing some fun to our little corner of the world; and our vendors for presenting their unique creations, all of them a spark of flavor in the lives of those who purchased their handiwork.
Thank you also to our food vendors Boudicca's Celtic Pub, Manic Espressions Coffee Co., Taste N See ice cream, and The Patty Shack for presenting such wonderful food. High praise was directed at all of them for delicious fare by everyone who paused for a taste!
