Good evening, friends!

The heat of the weekend prevented us from our Labor Day show, but this weekend looks positively chilly (not really, but comparatively).

We hope to see you at the mead booth!

Hello friends!

This weekend is going to be very hot, and though we are currently planning on having a mead show all three days, we encourage you to stay safe and healthy.

If you’re not feeling well in the heat, go home to your air conditioning. If you stay for our show, please drink a *lot* of water before and after.

See you soon!

Our first weekend of shows is in the books! We so enjoyed your company, it made the heat feel like a cozy fire.

This weekend will be beautiful! Please join us for another two days of trivia and delicious mead at 4:00pm daily!

Well met, good gentles!

Tomorrow we kick of another season of tasting, trivia, and tomfoolery! Renember to meet up at Banner Oak before our 4:00 show!

Hi best friends!

We have just one weekend of mead and knowledge left! Be sure to purchase online before Saturday, otherwise, swing in to Banner Oak Inn right next to the Bakery Stage to pick up some tickets!

There is no mead show on Festival Friday. That’s when kids are there. You really want children looking at what you draw on those chalkboards?

Hi best friends!

We are excited for another great weekend full of mead and KNOWLEDGE.

Remember to meet up at Banner Oak Inn near the front gate before the show! We suggest heading that way at around 3:40 to make sure you can get checked in and dressed in your proper attire (that’s the wristband they give you).

Hi best friends!

We are terribly sorry we missed you last weekend; we had to save a baby from a runaway carriage or something.

This weekend we will have THREE shows! That’s THREE chances to taste mead, THREE chances to win fabulous prizes, and THREE opportunities to write sweet nothings to the Navy on your chalkboards.

Join us at 4:00pm daily! Tickets can be purchased online, or just inside the front gates at Banner Oak Inn.

Hi friends,
Unfortunately there will be no mead show this weekend.

But there *is* a new flavor on the grounds! Make sure to stop by one of the booths and try the a Black Currant mead!

“Meditations in Chalk” is what happens when you give renaissance festival goers a chalkboard and don’t supervise them.

Each show, we find our patrons have unleashed their creativity upon the chalkboards, and we couldn’t keep it to ourselves anymore.

Each Monday, we’ll post the weekend’s art. Check out the 2021 album while you wait!

We’ve gotten through the first show of the 2022 season!

Did I accidentally give the answer to the audience? Yes. Twice.

“Meditations in Chalk” will be posted on Sunday night!
