Hey everyone, your friendly neighborhood Sherwood Thane here to restart everything on the blog and absolve everyone previous who hasn’t done their blog posts, on the account of COVID hitting and everything getting weird. We haven’t gone anywhere, in fact, we are bigger and better than ever.
In the last year and change, a lot of crazy things happened. Sherwood 2020 was cancelled after just 3 weekends, and we spent a year figuring out how to do everything we do safely, and still enjoy each other’s time. We sent skeleton crews out for a few weekends at TRF, and went into Sherwood 2021 expecting a small, uncertain season. BOY, were we wrong! At Sherwood, we had 39 Friends of Faire members, and record attendance nearly every week (we broke our previous all-time attendance record 4 out of 8 weekends!).
We’ve had lots of growth struggles to manage all of the new membership, new process, and much bigger expectations around food, beverages, and all general logistics. But we’ve done pretty tremendously in the process at building out our new land, rituals, and events to new uncharted places. Come join us at TRF this year for our 10 year anniversary there, can’t wait to see ya!
