King Richard’s Faire Returns to Celebrate the 40th Season in Carvershire

Queen Anne and King Richard by Sean Sweeney

We missed out on King Richard’s Faire last year because of the pandemic. This year we won’t be able to go to Carvershire because I have to take all my remaining vacation time to prepare for my black belt test. However, you do not have to miss out on the fun of King Richard’s Faire because it is returning for the 40th season of fun and festivities! We will get ourselves back to the Faire in the 2022 season, though. The kids love it there and so do we. More information about the return of the Faire below.

Some New General Mills Cereals

General Mills Cereal often sends me new products for free to check out. These are my own opinions.

Did you know that in addition to Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry there were two other monsters in the General Mills Cereal Lineup? There were! There were Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy. This year General Mills got the gang, or rather the band, back together for The Monster Mash cereal. They even made a funny behind the music type video about the band including the two members who have been missing for some time now.

as far as the cereal itself is concerned, it is okay. I think that General Mills could have really gone a lot further with it and put in the Count Chocula cereal pieces so that the cereal was both berry and chocolate flavored. There certainly could have been more marshmallows, too. The marshmallows were what really represented all the different monsters. I had the cereal as is and then I added the Reese’s Puffs Bats to it on the second bowl. There certainly was room for General Mills Cereal to add Count Chocula to the cereal mix for Monster mash, flavor-wise. I think that would have been a true mash up and a better tasting cereal for the fans.
