Angelyn Harper, Shop Owner
Anna Moldenduckye, papermaker

I have been around MRF since 1994. I became one of the two papermakers at the Windrose Mill in the '99 season. My partner Deb and I do papermaking demos(with a bit of song and humor). We also sell paper, so we spend a lot of time making paper all year. I also make a lot of our costumes. The Mill won a Festival Spirit award in 2000 which I was very proud to be a part of. In real life I am an Intensive Care Nurse so life is never boring!

My rookie year for street entertainment was 2003. What luck that I stumbled into the clutches of the Baroness and found myself drafted into service as the black queen's rook. I can not describe the great direction (and protection) was afforded me as a member of her entourage. I can be found in the company of sailors, rogues, pirates, musicians, and various other shady characters on and about the Unicorn stage, when not in the company of the Baroness dicing, gaming, singing and being generally beguiling and mysterious.

Aimed at a younger audience, Ghillie Dhu is another vaguely comprehensible Scottish character by Dan Hasselius. An engaging weaver of foliage, Ghillie Dhu is an earthy, natural, and elemental fae character.

Wilsome has mostly retired, he came across your mom the other day.

Just finished my rookie year with my daughter Jessica. I really enjoyed it. Loved the players and the patrons! Nikolas is a vagabond who talks to and hassles patrons, players and crafters.

I started in 2002 as straight street and promptly got myself involved in a few different groups, that of the Chess Match (Black Queen '02, some kind of pawn '03) Banner carrier for the Puppets (go puppets!)and the biggest part of my gig- the Royal Guard. I lucked out and now work with Alice (Anj) cooking on a REAL fire to make yummy, tasty food for the Guard. And I, being the crazy I am, commuted from Fargo to do it, while attending school full time, with various part time jobs. I graduate August '04, and hope to be back with the Guard creating craziness and comedy while making tantalizing smells waft into the air.

I started attend the fair in 1975 as a guest, until 1999 when I started to work for Felix Needleworthy. I worked for Felix Needleworthy until 2004. Late 2004 me and my wife started are own business. The business is selling children clothing and room assessories, called La Petite Wardrobe (shop no. 145).

I started fest at the ripe ol' age of 15 (1991 if anyone is trying to do the math). I started selling food and then t-shirts. Not the greatest job, but a couple of years later I landed a cushy job selling little flowery head-thingies called garlands to small children and drunk women. 1999 was my last full season out there, I'm afraid. I got married to a really swell Canadian, moved away to the Seattle area, moved back to Minnesota, started doing wedding photography, now planning to immigrate to Canada and move to Vancouver. That's the story so far... I bet that's scarey to those who remember me when I started Fest at the tender age of fifteen (braces and all)!

I started out in a traveler's shop for a few years and then sold garlands for the last six of my years in Minnesota. I moved away to go to grad school and then ended up staying down here. I had given up working for faires...who needs dusty feet and a bodice tan anyways? Then I was talked into coming back by my cousin who moved down here. Now I sell chainmail for the Greater St. Louis Renaissance Faire. Come visit us! www.stlrenfaire.com
