New Gainesville Mermaid Cover Open for Booking!

[maressa]

Looking for professionally-mannered mers who will sit in the new Mermaid Cove tent at the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire (https://www.facebook.com/HoggetowneMedievalFaire) January 24-25 and January 30 to February 1, 2015 10am-6pm in Gainesville, Fl. You will be posing with little ones, interacting with faire-goers, and interacting with the faire's roaming theatre performers, the Thieves' Guild. You do not have to be available all faire days to participate. You will be able to take breaks whenever needed. Mer-tenders will be available to help you get around

You must be able to provide your own costume, tail, and transportation. There will be a standard for costumes! In the coming months I will be working on a fund to raise monies to feed you during the faire days. If you would like to vend, all merchandise must be clearly labelled with your name and a price. Payments for your merchandise will be taken with cash or through Square, and distributed through Paypal.

If you are interested, please email 2-3 photos in your tail/costume, a list of days you are available for the faire, where you are based, your mermaid name, and any experience you have with children's entertainment, acting, or related experience to maressa.fox@gmail.com

Limited spots available! Thank you everyone!

If I get my tail by then. I would love to do this!

[Rivertee]

If you need any help outside of the cove I'd be happy to lend a hand. My tail isn't very professional looking, but I'd still like to help.

[SirenaBridge]

Oh I just saw something on Mermaid Sirenia's FB page about this and realized I had completely missed this thread somehow.
I am intrigued ... But I do not have a silicone tail. I have fabric Magictail and I'm wondering if this would be suitable...

[maressa]

Hi ladies! I've cast all the mermaids I'll be needing for this, but thank you! Hopefully we'll see you at the faire! :D

Hi lady!!! We definitely need mertenders if you're interested. I'm feeding everybody during the faire days, and can accommodate lodging if need-be. You'd have to be costumed, and you can do one or all days of the faire :)

[maressa]

If I get my tail by then. I would love to do this! Would you be interested in being a mertender? I'm looking for pirates or other costumed folks to help out! :)

[Rivertee]

I have a pirate costume ready so I'll check with the hubby and see what days. What kind of lodging and could it accommodate myhusband (who will also help) and my son?

[maressa]

Well, I would have to check with my friends that have guest bedrooms for three people... visitors who stay with me are usually solo and on my couch since I have an apartment.

[Rivertee]

Ok

[maressa]

So I'd need to know how many dates you want to do and how many nights you'd need to stay :) let me know

[Rivertee]

Will do :)

[maressa]

Hello Mers! So Sirenia cannot make it for the first weekend (January 24-25) so please let me know if anyone else is interested in picking up those dates! Thank you!

[maressa]

Do you have your tail? Sirenia ha to drop out of the first weekend and I need a replacement! :)

[MermaidCelesteFL]

I don't think so. I think it's the 30th - Sunday Feb 1st

[Rivertee]

Well looks like my plans just went to dry land :( No ride out to the fair. We have one car for a house of working adults and no one remembered to request ANY of the fair days off :( :(

D: Hmmm. Faire is Friday 9:30-3, and Saturday/Sunday 10-6. Our mertenders and Sirenia are both from Jacksonville, if we could get you a ride would you be able to come? You would just have to be ok with leaving super early in the morning, haha. I'd hate for you to miss it though!!!

[maressa]

Weekend #1 was a great success! Many many many smiles on the faces of little ones and the young at heart all weekend, and Celeste and Finley were total troopers!!!

[Rivertee]

Sadly because of my.Job I can't miss Saturday or Sunday. Sunday I xan get off about 10am at the earliest. ..

[maressa]

:'( well, I have friends in Jacksonville and I would be happy to meet up for a swim with you Sirenia to make up for the lost weekend!

[Rivertee]

Oh most def we're trying to put together a mer meet up.for.Fl mers soon too

[Mermaid Sirenia]

I agree we definitely need a swim together! I've got to see your tail in action once it's finished!!

[Rivertee]

:)

[Rivertee]

[maressa]

HUZZAH! :D :D :D

[Rivertee]

Ok Confirmed I'll be a bit late but I will be there Sunday! Soo question when I get there do I buy my ticket then come help you guys out or do I need to see someone?

[maressa]

Hi! If you want to help out (my mertenders bailed) I'll have ot figure out how to get you in, since there is different parking. You have ot be in costume though, do you have a costume?

[Rivertee]

I have several, I'll be there after 1pm though

[maressa]

Ok, no worries :) In that case unfortunately you'll have to buy a ticket to get in, because you'd have to get in with us in the morning for the free vendor parking. :( We'll see you tomorrow! :D

[Rivertee]

Ok, I'll still help where I can I'm just psyched to meet you mers

[Rivertee]
