Spring is in the air!!
You're right, it's not yet - but Spring IS Coming up quickly, so it's time to make your plans for Sherwood's annual ASL & DeafBlind Weekend!!
Please join us for a fun-filled weekend focusing on enjoyable accessibility for our community. We do this by partnering qualified professional interpreters with interns and higher-level interpreting students to ensure quality interpretation and to create opportunities for growth and success for the next cohort of new interpreters!

The truth is that this event is such a success *because* of our volunteering teams! We could not do what we do without them and you! The gratitude we feel is immense. Many of our students return year after year, get certified, and become Team Leads to support both the current students and our Deaf consumers. We're so proud of the community we get to cultivate here, and to get to extend an invitation to all of you to join us each season is amazing!!!
Okay, Time for DETAILS!!

The festival itself will be held Saturday, March 29th and Sunday March 30th, from 10am until dusk. We put together an interpreted schedule so you know exactly which shows are being interpreted when - no guesswork! We also have a unique schedule for our DeafBlind patrons to enjoy a more tactile experience! We also have a table just inside the Front Gate if you want to see the schedule, have questions, or just want to stop and say hello!
We hold a Deaf Social around lunch time Both Days where we can mingle, rehydrate, and take a huge group photo! There is always a lot of laughter during this time - This you don't want to miss!!
Pub Sing is a time where daring interpreters and students can try to keep up with the musical cast during an unscripted sing-along!! The struggle is real (because most of us can't keep up in English, either!) and it's very fun to watch their hands and faces flying.
Admission is $34 (including tax) at the gate, and tickets can be purchased here: https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/63187623/one-day-admission-mcdade-sherwood-forest-faire?cobrand=SherwoodForest
Pro-Tip: Keep an eye on ASL Program at Sherwood Forest Faire for an *online only* ASL Program Discount Code exclusive to our weekend!!

Camping: We reserve a campsite as close to the camping entrance as possible for our community of patrons and volunteers - it's very near the FREE SHOWERS. We need to know how much space to reserve, so please let us know if you plan to camp with us. We will have a firepit, a private port-o-potty for our group, and a kitchen area. We also offer 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners for our camping friends. A link will go out in a few weeks to those who fill out the form below, and the DEADLINE TO ORDER is March 26.
We'll have cold water available for free all weekend, and it's a safe and fun space to decompress, ask for help setting up your tent, and visit with friends.
Access to the campground costs $20/person for the weekend.
We'd love to have you join us!! If you're coming as a patron, not volunteering, please fill out this quick form.
