That's a wrap on the 2026 Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire season, and before we turn our attention to restocking, recovering, and preparing for the next adventure, we wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

To everyone who visited our tent, supported our little business, tried our products, adopted a Coo, shared a laugh with us, or simply stopped by to say hello: you made this season unforgettable. โค๏ธ

But there's another group of people who deserve some love: OUR CREW.

Some of these wonderful people spend their days out front, greeting customers, hawking products, and keeping the shenanigans alive. Others work behind the scenes, helping keep everything running.

Every single one of them plays a part in making Rigr Crafts & Viking Jerk what it is. We're incredibly grateful for their hard work, their friendship, their patience with our nonsense, and everything they've contributed this season.

We're a small husband-and-wife business, but we certainly don't do it alone. This crew has become family, and we wouldn't trade them for anything. (Even though we did technically fire everyone at the end of the season. It's tradition. ๐Ÿคฃ)

Thanks to your incredible generosity, the Blind Courage fundraiser perfume has raised over $850 toward Barossaโ€™s emergency veterinary care and surgery! โค๏ธ

From every bottle purchased to every share and kind word, you helped show Sir Lilith and Barossa just how powerful the faire family can be. Being able to hand over these funds was a moment weโ€™ll never forget, and it belongs to all of you!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for being Barossaโ€™s shield when he needed us most! ๐Ÿ™โœจ

But jokes aside, we want to give a HUGE thank-you to Bri for being such an incredible help over the last TWO seasons! โค๏ธ Sheโ€™s been a fantastic part of our little Renaissance Faire family, and we genuinely couldnโ€™t be more grateful for all the time, effort, and support sheโ€™s given us.

Bri, you may be fired, but youโ€™ll always have a place in our shenanigans. ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€œWhen itโ€™s Saturday but Ren Faire is overโ€ฆโ€

Yesterday, we said farewell to the 2026 season at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. And now we have to face the harsh reality of waking up on a Saturday without donning our garb, eating a turkey leg, or having a pint with friends at the tavern. ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿบ

For those of us who live for faire weekends, the post-faire blues are REAL. Weโ€™ll miss the familiar faces, the shenanigans, the friends who feel like family, and all the wonderful people who stopped by our tent this season. โค๏ธ

But fear not, good folk! Weโ€™re taking a couple of weeks to restock the shelves, make more goodies, and give our feet a well-earned break before we hit the road again.

We may be packing away the garb for a little while, but the workshop is still open and the crafting never truly stops. ๐Ÿ˜‰

After a season of glitches, questionable dialogue, unexpected updates, and one very dramatic terminationโ€ฆ we decided Vlad's Tovary deserved a proper send-off for his last day of the season.

So naturally, we became his fan club. We dressed like him. We embraced the Vlad energy. We committed to the bit. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Is this a sign of appreciation? A cry for help? Have we all been infected by his NPC coding?

The answer is yes.

Thanks for an absolutely ridiculous season, Vlad. We wouldnโ€™t have it any other way. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now be honestโ€ฆ who wore the Vlad look best? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘‡ Jackie? Viking Jerk? Bri?

We tried the updates. We tried the reboots. We even gave him a chance to work with his new features.

But after one too many glitches, Viking Jerk finally made the executive decision.

๐—ฉ๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—— ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—™๐—œ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐——. ๐Ÿซก

Unfortunately, Vlad's Tovary did NOT take the news well. Apparently, the latest update included an inability to process constructive criticismโ€ฆ or unemployment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’€

HR has been notified. The NPC has been disconnected. We make no promises about what happens next.

It took a few reboots to get our favorite NPC back to his assigned location this morning, but he's officially back online!

Unfortunately, the update seems to have installed a fewโ€ฆ unexpected features. ๐Ÿ’€

Is his dialogue fixed? Is his programming worse? Did the developers accidentally install the premium chaos package?

Only one way to find out. Come visit Vlad's Tovary at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and see what kind of dialogue options he's running today. ๐Ÿคฃ

Historically, โ€œamberโ€ could refer to two very different treasures: Baltic amber, fossilized tree resin, and ambergris, a rare substance originating in s***m whales. Medieval apothecaries valued amber, known as karabe or succinum, and ground it into powders for traditional remedies.
