Call for Urgent Festival Assistance

[Captain Emerald Shaunassey]

Calling All Sea Dogs and Scoundrels of Some Repute (and Those who have hearts bigger than their deck):

I be needing your help, my brethern and sisters of the seas.

Due to health and pregnancy complications, the lady who was going to provide children's entertainment and games for the Illinois Renaissance Festival has had to pull out under physician's orders. Our thoughts, prayers, and wishes for an end to the complications and a safe delivery for both mom and baby go out to this courageous lady.

Sadly however, we, the board members of the IRF must now find a replacement so that the children of the realm are not forgotten. To that end, I am asking for the assistance of any and all children's realm specialists and volunteers to step forward and contact the festival director, Ms. JoMarie Dugan directly (e-mail found on festival website of: http://www.illinoisrenfaire.com/).

We are also in dire need of vendors for our festival - if you or someone you know is a vendor, please see our website for more information.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter - the pulling together of the rennie community is what makes it so very special.

Blessings upon you all and my most humble thanks to each,

Emerald Shaunassey/K

Assistant Director, IRF
