ST - Scarborough Faire

[Glen Wilkerson]

In addition to which, I always heard that there were some elements that wanted us gone because we were taking crowds away from those "professional renfaire" performers and merchants who were there to make money.  Also, they wanted to bring in the formal Medieval Times style "jousting" shows.  Aside from that, I always felt the separation was amicable - witness the fact that we used the Scarfaire site for several events after we ceased formal participation in demos.  It's been over ten, maybe fifteen years since the last event there, though, and I think it was either a liability insurance issue, or maybe the cost of the site itself, that was the cause.

    Basically, Scarborough Faire wanted consistent participation throughout 
    the run of the faire. We were unable to provide that consistent participation 
    in the demos....especially since our largest event (Warlord) occurs during 
    the faire's run...and so we eventually went our separate ways.

        As I wasn't around when the SCA stopped doing demos at Scarborough Faire 
        I can't answer your question fully. All I know is that there was a 
        falling out and both parties (the faire people and the SCA) have just 
        moved beyond it.

        Just out of curiosity, why does the SCA not demo at Scarborough 
        Faire?
