I had one of those momenta at KRF that makes you feel great. There was a little girl on Saturday that I met outside the gate and designated her as Princess #2 (because she was right next to Princess #1). I saw her several times during the day and reminded her that the King was still looking for a bride. I saw her again after the final Joust and asked her if she was still interested in knowing who was chosen Queen. She answered Yes!" with huge sparkling eyes. I made certain they were going to the Final Revels and sought out the Master of the Revels, Lord Percival, who was more than happy to introduce her and bring her up on stage as long as she was in the audience. I kept scanning the audience to see if she was there, finally saw her mother and brother on the periphery, and asked if she was there. Her mother pointed out that she was in the front row, but she was smaller than the people around her so hadn't seen her. I sat down next to her, so Percy could see me and know where she was. She didn't even notice I sat next to her, her eyes were glued to the stage. Finally, Percy introduced her and she stood on stage with the other princesses to hear who would be the next Queen.
It's great to get in a good joke, embarrass the hell out of patron, get nice remarks about the musical, but it's great to really please just one person in a way that she will remember at least a week or so. (I know kids - a week is a lifetime).

Hey Heyo, don't be too sure she will ever forget that ...

I have a vivid memory of being on my dad's shoulders after seeing peter pan on broadway with sandy duncan..and my mother getting autographs for me of the cast....and i remember "Captain HOOk" (christopher hewitt=tv's mr belvedere) whispering something to my mother and her pointing up to me and then him saying with a sly grin in his english accent..."Hello... ERRRIN"... I remember the feeling i had when i found out captain hook "knew me".... and that memory is from when I was 3!

I only wish i knew about renaissance faires when i was a little kid...i needed that kind of outlet for my imagination...thank god my dad finally let me in on the "secret" when I was 17 ...."hey erin, i think there is a something ya might like in a place called sterling forest..."

Never underestimate how much of a memory you are possibly making for a little kid... it may become one of their first and fondest memories.
