I'd like to let the Texas rabble about the second annual Sherwood Forest Faire in the Austin area, It's 2011 opening weekend is coming up on 2/19/2011.

Sherwood Forest Faire is located near Paige Texas, about 35 miles east of Austin on US Hwy 290. The grounds cover 105 nicely wooded acres, with about 25 acres for the actual faire village area. Sherwood has a "medieval" theme, the faire is set around the year 1189, the time of Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

This faire has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication on the part of a lot of folks in the Texas faire community, and while last years first season was amazing, I think this year will be even more-so!
I hope you can check it out if you are in the area.

I'll be there for opening day, hope to see ya'
