USFS work forces ren faire to cancel ’16 event

Producers of the annual Renaissance Fair at Camp Richardson on Monday announced via Facebook that the 2016 event is a no-go.

This is because the U.S. Forest Service is overhauling the campground. Work will not be done in time for the late May, early June fair.

The Badger’s Den area at Camp Rich was a potential alternative, but organizers said it is not “conducive to development of an event of the quality we are used to bringing to Tahoe. … For those reason, among others, we’ve decided that we will skip doing the Valhalla Renaissance Faire in 2016 and return the show it all its fine glory to Eagle’s Nest in 2017.”
