Next Year in Irwindale?

According to an article in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, officials with the Southern California Ren Faire said they plan to negotiate a long-term agreement to hold the annual festival at the dam because of its success and convenient location. According to Pete Leavell, chief executive officer of the Faire, “I think the Santa Fe Dam is a perfect place for the Renaissance Faire. The setting is idyllic.” The article notes the vendors and entertainers noted the upswing in attendance at the new location, even as there were folks upset about the lack of on-sight camping. Folks also liked the fact that the new site was less dusty.
