August, 2019


Happy Lughnasadh, all!  For those of you who haven’t seen my spoiler-free review of Midsommar, it appears below the event listing.  I may want to drop my rating to 3 pents out of 5, as it’s probably not as rewatchable as the original Wicker Man.

Late-breaking news from the Brooks Medieval Faire:  Due to severe illness and a car accident, the organizers have made the tough decision to cancel the 2019 Brooks Medieval Faire. Ticket refunds will be issued through Eventbrite and vendors will be refunded through e-transfer. Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes. We will make the 2020 Faire bigger and better than ever. See you next year. – Jen and Sandy”
