Re-scheduled for July 24, 25 2010!
The Big Bear Valley Renaissance Society, Inc., is having it's Fawnskin Victorian Days on July 24 & 25, 2010 at the BBVRSI permanent site on the north shore of Big Bear Lake!
Help!!
We have experienced a ripple in time! This year our Victorian Days will be invaded by Pirates, and industrious Steampunk's! Or is it the other way around? Also joining us for this most amazing adventure are some rather mystical creatures from Fairy Forest!
Perhaps you can help us set straight this most confusing of predicaments and get us back on our proper time line!
EXCITING NEWS!! We have some new acts to awe and inspire you! The aerial act Suspended Reality who will tell the love story of Oberon and Titania through aerial dance with some narration as well, by the mischievous Puck and Peas-blossom. Also new and performing only on Sunday will be the California Celts, you'll love their sound, a very unique take on Celtic music. There will be a Steampunk match maker! So if you need a spouse or perhaps want to trade yours in...she'll be able to take care of your needs! Now don't panic...we will of course have your old favorites there as well...The lovely Belles of Bedlam...the ever entertaining Sportive Tricks, Adam The Bawdy Juggler, Mr. Mac the children's Pirate and much, much, more. Believe me, this is a week-end you won't want to miss!
Named as one of Westways Magazine's
"Top Five Worth The Drive" events in the western states!
Hosted in the lovely little town of Fawnskin, the event will showcase the entire nineteenth century, including Victorian, pioneers, the wild west, old miners, the American civil war, and this year for the first time we have the great joy of introducing you to a fabulous new group of people who call them self Steampunk! Come prepared to encounter literary characters and authors, historical figures, shoot outs in the streets, strange devices carried by the Captain of a Zeppelin, arrests and judgments from the "hangin' judge."
There will be period entertainment and games.
While not all visitors come in costume, a great many do. The site will be set up to cover both American Old West to English Victorian and beyond with vendors and five stage's worth of entertainment of both as well as performers filling the streets: watch out that you don't get caught up in a shoot out or thrown in jail! Of course, if you want to have someone arrested, we can swear out an arrest warrant for whatever charge you can dream up...
And, to kick things off, the opening of the Fawnskin Victorian Days will be preceded by the annual Fawnskin Doo Dah Parade, which runs 10-11am, Saturday morning.
