... Rogersville TN is celebrating "The Age of Pirates"

...Travel back to a time when Kings and Queens ruled the land. Visit the Kings  stage for performances of Celtic Music, Fire Breathing, Belly Dancing, Puppetry and Comedy. Visit the marketplace for rare and beautiful objects brought from lands near and far. Listen to music, "sweet to the ear" and feast on foods common to the time. Watch our jousters challenge each other on the tournament field. Beware the pirates for they practice much mischief and mayhem. The wee ones will be amused by puppet shows and stories of Knights and Damsels. Come one and all for a day of revelry. Enjoy! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!.

Do Not Stand By My Grave And Weep

I Am Not Dead, I Do Not Sleep.

I Am A thousand Winds That Blow,
I Am A Diamond Glint On Snow.

I Am The Sunset On Ripened Grain;
I Am The Gentle Autumn Rain.

When You Awake In The Autumn Hush,
I Am The Swift Uplifting Rush.

Of Quiet Birds in Circling Flight,
I Am the Soft Star Shine at Night.
 

Do Not Stand By My Grave and Cry,
I Am Not There, I Did Not Die

It is with deep sorrow that we morn the loss of our friend  Amanda Reeves.  Tragically, Amanda passed away May 4, and left behind two small children David and Matthew. 

Amanda has been a member of our arts council board for the past several years as well as my right hand during Ren faire.

There will be a memorial ceremony for Amanda on June 7, at faire close, for those who would like to show their respect to her family.  We will be planting a tree in Crockett Park in her honor.
