ARE YOU READY?
THEN, LET’S BEGIN! …The Renaissance Faire Reunion on March 26th, 2017!
Sunday in the Park!
Gathering at the MainStage Clearing
On Sunday we went out to the Paramount Ranch in Agoura, California for the annual Renaissance Faire Reunion and it was a beautiful day!
We saw old friends and walked the site.
We uploaded about 200 new pics of people and places from the past and from our Sunday adventure. Everything was very green! It was cloudy and then clear, so there are a lot of great pics from the gathering.
Ride with us! Cornell Road to the Paramount Ranch in Agoura , California
Take a Sunday Afternoon drive from the 101 freeway to the parking lot>
Take the 101 freeway to Kanan Rd and go west towards the Pacific Ocean.
Go past Agoura Rd and turn left on Cornell Rd. Go past the Fire Station.
There are nice views of Phredd’s Meadow and the old Racetrack from Cornell Road.
When you arrive at the Paramount Ranch (just past the sign), turn right into the park.

GATHERING AT THE MAINSTAGE CLEARING (Too late to turn back now….)
Lots of old friends! When we arrived at the MainStage Clearing there were already a lot of old Faire folks gathered together. Some people were seated and having picnics and others were standing and talking. We said hello to our friends as we walked up the hill and almost at the same time the musicians began to play old Faire songs while others grouped around them and began to sing along.

It was wonderful to see so many old familiar faces and facebook friends in person!
Friends of the Paramount Ranch – “Huzzah! The Glove is Up Again!”
Billy and Richard announced that they had created “Friends of the Paramount Ranch”
The “Friends of Paramount Ranch” is now a non-profit under Ernie Fishbach’s corporate umbrella and the Park Service wants to add the history of the Ren Faire to the official Paramount Ranch history (or something like that, watch the video – contact Billy Scudder or Richard Beard for all the details if you want to volunteer)
NOTE: There was some action, and then they went dark. Not sure what is happening with “Friends of the Paramount Ranch” as of February 11, 2018.
