New Year - New Site!
We can't imagine a better way to kick off the New Year than with a new site! Throughout 2009, we labored without an online presence and it was ... er ... less than ideal. Although we are already gearing up to expand our new site with many additional features, we invite you to explore our new virtual digs and send us some feedback.

Ded Bob Unveiled at Michigan Renaissance Festival

The ooooh's and ahhhh's the piece received every time it was brought up onto the stage was an inspiring way to introduce this new line of RenFest art and a satisfying finish to the season.
