Ever have so much happening that when it was over, you wonder what happened? That was the August Falton Festival. There was much revelry as the clans of olde returned to Falton to celebrate liberation. Represented were the Wolves, Ducks, Boars, and Eagles. Forts were established, fires were started, flags were stolen, resources acquired, fires extinguished, and opponents were skewered. May we of Falton never lose our “edge” as a fierce land of honorable warriors. …
Don’t let the weather fool you. Even though it is supposed to be perfect all day, we are still going to hold the Falton (not Roman) Festival!!! Saturday is all about fun and role playing and games and showing off our costumes. Come bring your character to life, be your character, share your character as we celebrate another success of our humble town. If you can bring some snacks to share, it would be appreciated, …
Which is more fun? The fights, games, and role playing of Falton Festival, or the silly antics and talent of Open Mic night? Hmmm, that’s a hard one. Fortunately, on Saturday, we don’t have to choose — we’ll do both! For open mic, it is: NTR (no talent required)! Audience participation is at least half of the fun. I’m expecting lots of people wanting to participate, so let’s keep the performances shorter (1-4 minutes). If …

I have a room reserved in town, in case we were getting a lot of rain tonight, but, with only a 15% chance of light rain — let’s meet at the amphitheater and bring an umbrella. Last time the fire, candles and flashlights added to the magic and we can’t take those indoors. I’ll have the truck parked by the theater so you can store your instruments/supplies in there in case of a sprinkle. Arrive …
The Sweet Rayne amphitheater has been hearing a delightful, 4-person, itinerant troupe of minstrels, The Merry Tipperaries, practicing for Friday. Plus, there’s been some comedy straight from the corn field. This is going to be a fun evening. I wanted to mention that we’d love to have your parents join us — up on the stage, or in the audience. At Sweet Rayne we believe everything is more fun when mom and dad join …
I’m preparing my material. I hear of others doing the same. I know there is one wonderful, never-been-heard-before song that will be sang. All of this for the open-mic night at the acoustic theater. All the details are in the last TorchLightLARP.com post. We’ll provide a mic and speaker (ok, so we won’t all have to be acoustic), and everything else will come in your cars. Come early if you need to set up anything. …
Remember the fun after the last LARP when we were laughing and singing and dancing on the stage after the Celts bid their farewell? What do you say we do that again? Do you have a song, joke, poem, story, magic trick, juggling trick, acrobatic display, dance, Lego creation, etc., etc., etc. that you can share with us, or that we can join you in? Or, would you like to join the audience for smiles, …
