Happy Winter, everyone.  The tentative dates and locations for 
renaissance events to be held in 2005 has been posted at 
http://www.festint.com

Highlights: (Keep in mind, things can change, so check the site for the 
latest news...)

* 3rd Annual Nebraska Renaissance Faire is moving to a new location 
near Omaha, and into the Spring.  Location details will be announced 
shortly.

* The Des Moines Renaissance Faire will return for it's third 
appearance but at another location. This will be the last 'soft' 
(tents) event held in Des Moines before the permanent festival site 
opens in Fall 2006.  As such, it will also be the last Spring event -- 
Memorial Day Weekend at the State Fairgrounds (to be near the permanent 
site location).

* A new event, the Four Kingdoms Festival, will be held in Rock Island, 
IL in October.
