I'd say just look for the pirates, but that doesn't work at this event. Our booth is pretty ordinary looking from the outside, but it has custom jewelry on angled black boards. Ah, easy, it's the one with Shekabobs and hair dangles hanging on wood ladders out front.

Stop by and say ahoy!

I have a photo of the booth now - it's pretty sweet:

The cannon in the front is from the movie Hook... it's an exact reproduction taken from the mold of another cannon. We also have a couple swords from PotC I that we like to show off to visitors...

Now you know what the booth looks like.

Thanks for the compliment, fine sir. My official job is to sit out front on a barrel and harrass the faire goers. Ah, a perfect role if ever there was one. Swill some grog, ask how much for the little girl and watch the world pass by. The sword is one of the stunt swords from the movie. The barrel is foam rubber (from Disney) so I can roll around on it, tip back and sway. Very fun!

That was by far the saddest faire I've ever been to. Oh don't get me wrong... great performers/reinactors. Great shows. Vendors need to be upgraded a bit... and tickets downgraded.

$12? Are you Frakking kidding me? Hoggetowne is about that much and you can fit the pirate faire in half of an auxillary parking lot.

It was a $5 or $6 faire tops.
