Below is a preliminary news release for the upcoming Pirate Festival in

August at the Park. The dates are August 27 & 28, 2005. A fall renaissance

festival has also been planned for September 10 & 11, 2005.

If this pirate faire in Corona turns out really well, it will most certianly signal death to the one in Ojai-especially since Dick Wixon (who runs the Ojai events) has been losing money on the Sept. faires for a long time now. I think he's just about ready to close it down, as the only people showing up are the participants. Dick is making all his money now on the Escondido faires since he's gone to two weekends for spring and fall.

And if'n PRP just happens to be next to Stranglehold, heheeee, ol Rumba will most certianly be up to her fine tricks. :lol:

Is Corona Faire in the same location as it always is or is it in a new location? Hmmm.....That also be me sister Sabrina's birthday as well, the 27th of August. Perhaps go to Faire on Saturday and do our regular Disneyland trip Sunday. Since having the passport again we're all going to try and get as much use out of it as possible. Get our money's worth, as it were! :)

The band Roger the Red and I, New Providence, are in will be preforming on stage at the faire. We'll have 4 shows on Saturday and 3 shows on Sunday. The times and which stage will be posted when I get them. This will be our first paid gig so come out and cheer us on!

Why the name New Providence? There is an old saying that when a pirate dreams he dreams of New Providence. :)

Superduperfragilisticexpealadocious! Nothing like us gals getting into a whole lot of fun trouble! :huh:

I'll be doing the Narrator part for the play, The Tryal of Anne Bonney and Mary Reade, on Saturday.
