The Moscow Renaissance Fair is pleased to inform the general public that we were able to recycle or compost over 75 percent of the solid waste generated at our fair. A big thank you goes out to our community; first of all, to the City of Moscow staff and the countless volunteers for helping to reduce our environmental footprint!

Thousands of friends turned up for our annual celebration of spring. Some highlights from this year's fair include: two days of miraculous sun and light breezes, "balmy" temperatures, snow drifts almost melted. kids painting faces again, a big dragon parading with hidden help to drums and pipers, elegant royalty reading poetry to the peasants, all ages Maypoling to music, raptors spellbinding rapt young watchers, old hippies dancing "forever" to Main Stage music in the sunlight (imagine!), scrumptious strawberry rhubarb pie, dazzling arts and “crafty” crafts, longtime family fair-goers greeting old friends, and new families discovering new neighbors at the biggest community party hereabouts.

These good memories make all the committee work worth the effort. We have some new board members that we would like to introduce to our hardworking crew. Our new president is a "forever" Ren Fair supporter, Andee Chosch-Pittenger. Longtime Friend of the Fair David Willard will be taking over the vice president of stage. Dave Remington, our master of funds will be staying on for one more year as treasurer and Erin Howard is going to move from the recycling coordinator position and act as our new secretary. If you've always wanted to help out with our community's fair, it's not too late to start!
