Kearney '26—Day One!

Good evening, mortals! The first day of Kearney ‘26 came to a crisp, Autumnal end. Tomorrow lies ahead—hopefully as delightful & energizing as today!

We reunited with so many friends from across the State—the Get Medieval Knights, our pirate allies in Rogues & the trinket-trading Mystics, Dotter’s Knot, our mentor Jester Jeff, & so many more! & the faire seemed bursting at the seams with patrons; I would be un-shocked to learn if o’er 3,000 had attended today!

Here are a few images & memories of our Saturday, with a fuller recapitulation arriving Monday evening:

Two of our valiant warrior friends from the Get Medieval Knights, whom we know well from Shasta.

…who battled in a melee so fierce, King Henry VIII himself bestowed favour upon them!

SANTA.

Nate, an actor, who let us read their future & who is available for commercial / necromantic work.

The wondrous chorus of Dotter’s Knot, who rove the faire weaving a vocal tapestry. We know them well from Shasta, & oft have enjoyed their songs & the shade of their camp.

Our Dungeon Master friend, Captain Candy, honoring us by kneeling whilst we steal his thrones.

The line at one of THREE mead stations, which stretches unto the horizon.

Thank ye for reading—& thank ye to the growing cadre of generous mortals who can & do support our works here with coin!

For now, we must away to the piratical mead tasting! I shall write ye again Monday afternoon, with images & memories from the second day & thoughts on the full week-end. ‘Til then—be safe, be well, & see ye on the King’s stage…

Cheers,
