House of the Three Sisters: The first cast members guests meet at the Faire. The House runs the Royal Crusade, lost and found, and general information.

Mermaids: (18+) Mermaids live in our grotto and tell stories of their undersea adventures and take photos with guests. One mermaid will be “onstage” at a time with the others being gifted legs and helping with storytelling and crowd control. Preference will be given to those who already have their own tails. Prior Faire experience required.
