2009 Ticket Purchase

....................

Monday July 20^th 2009

Things are a bustle on the grounds of the Michigan Renaissance Festival.  Preparations are fast underway for the 2009 season.  Gardens are being spruced up, buildings are being prepped, performers are rehearsing, and the staff is working long hours.  However, the Michigan Renaissance festival was upset this morning to discover that, once again, their village idiot has gone missing.  He was last seen on the festival grounds Sunday evening as workers were preparing the grounds and gardens. 

One witness explained, “I don’t think he liked the gardening, but it has to be done!”. 

Another witness said, “Of course he took off again, there’s work to be done!”. 

One grounds worker noted, “He does this all the time.  Just when we need him the most!”.

As a result the Michigan Renaissance Festival is offering a reward for the discovery of his location.  Individuals who are able to locate him, along with his secret code, are asked to email it to michrenfestpromo@gmail.com.  The reward currently stands at two festival admission vouchers. To help you in your quest 3 clues will be posted daily; one on facebook (www.facebook.com/michrenfest), one on myspace (www.myspace.com/michrenfest), and the *bonus* clue will be posted on twitter (http://twitter.com/michrenfest).   Please monitor these closely for updates.

We appreciate everyone’s concern and hope for his safe and speedy return.

So as we get closer and closer to festival, we get more and more excited. We remember festivals of the past and revel in the excitement of a new and exciting season. It's because of this that we would like to invite you to share your memories of past Michigan Renaissance Festival. They could be funny stories, things that happened, or your favorite foods. Please include them as a comment on our page (keep them clean!). We will be randomly selecting participants to receive an official 2009 Michigan Renaissance Festival t shirt! Here's one of my own:

Two years ago I brought a date to Festival. He was a doctor :). He was a lot of fun but it was one of our first dates. We had a lot of fun at festival and were getting ready to leave. We decided no trip would be complete without a tasty treat. As I was standing at one of the tables enjoying a snack, two kids ran by me, one of them kicking my ankle as he ran by. I fell to the ground. Luckily my date rushed to my side and gave me a thorough examination of my foot. Not broken... just sprained. It was adorable and made for a memorable experience.

You get the point... it's sharing time!

The Michigan Renaissance Festival is looking for additional entry level cast members for the 2009 season. Openings available are: Fairies, Peasant Dancers, Ticket Peddlers and Front Gate Greeters.

You must be enthusiastic and able to interact with patrons and have your own costume. This could be a stepping stone to becoming a resident cast member. Compensation for these positions is entrance into the festival and food coupons. Apply at the office Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. The office is the beige brick house just south of the driveway for the festival.

Questions? Please contact Theresa or Kathy at 800-601-4848

Address is 12600 Dixie Hwy Holly, MI 48442

Some clarifications: Yes the village idiot is on location... when you figure out where it is you must go there to get the secret code... then email us that code.  If you are caught sharing the location or code you will be disqualified.  You're getting warmer!  Good Luck!

Our Village idiot has gone missing!  Each day we will post three clues; one on myspace, one on facebook, and one on twitter.  For the best chances of finding him and putting this mystery to rest, you will need to visit all three sites.  www.twitter.com/michrenfest and facebook keyword "Michigan Renaissance Festival"
