This coming weekend is the end for RPFS (Renaissance Pleasure Faire South) at Devore (San Bernardino)

And when I say the end, I mean the END. There are rumors that the corporation running the Faire is looking to kill off RPFS, just as they killed off RPFN (Northern) last year. Seems they’d rather run their haunted house and ski resort in New York. :dubious:

Alas, the last posted update on that site was over five years ago.

Slightly more current info can be found at [http://www.renaissance-faire.com/Locations.htm](http://www.renaissance-faire.com/Locations.htm) Only slighty. ☹

There doesn’t seem to be a truly up-to-date listing anywhere, unfortunately.

Hmmm…

It does seem like the information at that site is now outdated. If you go to the information about the faires, it looks like it was last updated for the 2003 faires. That’s hardly 5 years, but it’s still outdated. Sorry, it was a reliable site for a long time.
