It's the start of season 23 at Scarborough Faire. And there are more changes going on since last year. There's a resurrected Ship's Stage for all our cool piratical brethren to play on. After 8 years the Swordsmen have returned for a partial run.
We have our bellydancers back too. Also the cast is trying out some new challenging things for their scenarios. Also the Saturday prior to opening day the whole cast went down to Grapevine Mills outlet mall to promote the faire. Hope you enjoy.
The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
