  Big Girls Don't Cry Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.

We got to see all our favorites. As we entered the Faire we saw some of Robin Hood’s band.  Robin Hood and Maid Marion always take part in the Faire. Aaron Bonk does an act with whips, swords and fire. Yes, that’s me in Renaissance garb. I always dress for the Faire. You may recall we saw Aaron Bonk on our  cruise  in December 2022. Next up was Mythic Madness, a comedy and a display of stage fighting. In addition to the Robin Hood story, the Faire also features the Queen and her court.  The two storylines come together during the living chess match, where Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham engage in combat. Next up, the Magikhana Show with Arsene Dupin. He is a magician who performs his show without...
