This Saturday, Lady Amanda Chase’s memory will be honored at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. Join Shannon Maria Jones’ friends and relatives and share your favorite memories of the B**r Mistress. The ladies of Chaste Treasure will be honoring her by doing what she loved the most; performing at Renaissance faires. We’ve grown so much since Lady Amanda first sang with us at NJRF. And this weekend, we hope you will live like Shannon as a Battle Raven that embraces all that life has to offer.

As the gates open, we will start at Boons and Favor on Hart, and at 2pm will will gather at Sir Jacob's Ladder for a time of remembrance. We will sing and share our beautiful memories. Also, Friday night, Lebanon Valley Mall, we are gathering from 6-8pm at Drunkin Smithys beside Boscovs. I heard a song was written just for Shannon Maria. All are welcome.

One of the fab things about Enchanted Fairy Festival York, PA is a dedication to photo ops

There are lots of props and photo areas as well as themed experience areas like giggling gargoyles, ogre trading post, and mermaid tail try-on (say hi to Opal Whiptail ). This festival is split into zones with fairy land and wonderland up top and pirate cove and the bounce zone at the bottom. It feature stilt walkers, belly dancers, bubble fae, and interactive experiences with live and fantasy creatures. Captain Astrid Kick is manning Candyland today 😉
