Entertainment Highlights and Special Events for 2008 has been posted to the So. Cal. Renaissance Pleasure Faire website. There are quite a few new shows and characters running around this year; including a World Record Holding Crack-Whip Master, A new Lord Mayor's Show and Queen's Show, and Merlin: The Magician. Plus, there's a lot of new things for the kids!

Another detail I noticed (that I don't remember from previous years) is this: "Welcome to Port Deptford!" Was the faire always named Port Deptford?

Some returning favorites include: The Bold and Stupid Man Show, Jousting, and The Washing Well Wenches. However, I have to ask, "Where is Sound and Fury??"

There are quite a few shows and activities that I greatly miss from some of my previous years at the Faire. The one that I always look for on the schedule (but, haven't been to the faire in over 4 years) is the Green Tree Man. Anyone remember this guy?

I also miss the giant rocking horses. But, I only saw those one year.
