I am no stranger to Ren Faires. I’ve worked as both performer and vendor at the Italian Renaissance Festivsl at Viscaya in Miami (sadly now kaput), and Hoggetown Medieval Faire in Gainesville, Florida. I have attended many others over the years, and love the community and atmosphere, even as a mere Patron.
Pittsburgh Ren Faire has a great balance that renders it both intimate and interesting. The vendors are varied and friendly, and the food options have increased from prior years. They serve cider now, which thrills me to no end.
Next year, I hope to be a vendor and peddle my jewelry and prints. Wish me luck!

Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
