Bo, I have his contact info if you still want it. I hired him 2 weeks ago to come to this year's Pirate Fest. He's an insurance salesman from Redbud.

And a great time was had by all!!!! It was great to get to put faces with names. May we meet again soon!!!!

I will be there, but I'm a Dog Soldier so I'm camped by the Governor, Mutley. I'm up by the sign on the Main Road. Look for the sign that says Apothecary and stop by for a visit. Or a sip......... ..........for medicinal purposes only, mind ya!!!!!!

They usually open the fort up for camping around the Saturday before Memorial Day. I go down on Wed or Thursday. Have you checked Southwest? They've had some great rates lately.

And there's the Pirate Fest in Wentzville, a suburb of St Louis, in September.

I'm actually NOT getting any e-mail alerts when there are messages. I looked at my settings and it says I should be, but they're not happening..... I don't either and I, too, am supposed to. I got them for a couple months, but that stopped months ago.

LMAO!!!!! How true!

And how can I obtain the colors???

There's 4 tickets at the Ticket Booth with your name on them. Hope to see you.

Just let us know if you need comp tickets.

Rusty, Carl & Aj will be out Friday. Not sure about Silas. Meetin him tomorrow to show him where to set-up so should know more after that.

The St Louis Pirate Festival was asked to bring reenactors on two weekends of the exhibit here in St Louis. We had 20+ both weekends and the patrons loved it. It was great when the kids would turn the corner and suddenly see us. They would just freeze and stare. The best was when 2 of our "ladies" sang in the pub. Several of our friends from the Mercury Crew were able to help us out. If you ever get a chance to work it take the opportunity. It's great!!!!

What info arrrrr ya needing???? Are you camping with us? Which weekends? Daytripping? Need tickets? Thanks

Here is an interesting answer I found on Wikipedia - "The custom that a man's coat should button "left side over right", anecdotally originates in the use of the sword, where such cut avoided catching the top of the weapon in the opening of the cloth (since the sword was usually drawn right-handed). Women's suits are buttoned "right side over left". A similar anecdotal story to explain this is that women were dressed by maids, and so the buttons were arranged for the convenience of their, typically, right-handed servants; men on the other hand dressed themselves and so the buttons were positioned to simplify that task." Seems to make some logical sense.
