Other Ren Fairs

This year the Ohio Renaissance Festival will operate from September 4 - October 17, 2010.  As you know, there is a growing number of patrons who refuse to attend this event because they feel funding the event funds the horrible business practices of its owner, Peter Carroll, as described, photographed, documented, and shown in great detail at the following URL:

What you might not know is that there are many alternatives to the Ohio Renaissance Festival, which certainly seems worthier of your business.  Some of them might even be closer to your homeport.  So this year, let every theme weekend be VARIETY rather than the same old lining of Peter Carroll’s pockets.  Let your spending be the casting of your vote.  Vote for honesty and integrity by boycotting the Ohio Renaissance Festival until such time as its owner Peter Carroll decides to respect the laws of the land and provide dignity to the patrons and participants of his festival.

Our pick for each weekend is highlighted in red.
