Granite State Comicon

I am very excited to say that my family will be hosted guests at Granite State Comicon 2019. I have not been to this event since the very first one way back when it started in 2003. The Granite State Comicon was created by two friends of mine from college, brothers Chris and Scott Proulx and their friend Brett Parker. The con has grown and I have wanted to go back for several years now. It just hasn’t worked out. But this year I was asked if I wanted to attend and to help promote the show. I’d certainly do anything to help out these guys. Part of that is running this giveaway and coordinating with other bloggers to put on giveaways of their own.

This year is a big year for TMNT fans. It is the 35th anniversary and there will be a bunch of very special things happening at the con for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles including voice talent from the shows and many artists and even Kevin Eastman! I am thrilled about that!

Both of the kids are going to cosplay at the show. They have each created their own unique characters and on one of the days Eva will go as Luna Lovegood. I cannot wait to see how they do at the show, it is going to be so much fun. If you would like to join us on Sunday please enter to win passes through the Rafflecopter app below.

King Richards Faire

We are thrilled to once again be invited as guests of The Realm to the 38th Season of King Richard’s Faire. We are also able to host a giveaway of a family 4-pack of tickets to opening weekend to one lucky family here on this blog. There is so much to do at the Faire and we love going there as a family each year. It has become one of our most looked forward to trips. You can see our 2017 visit in the video below and then after that you can enter our giveaway through the Rafflecopter App.

The giveaway is for a Family 4-Pack of Passes to Opening Weekend of King Richard’s Faire on August 31 – September 2, 2019. The Giveaway Ends August 23, 2019. We will need the winner’s address so the tickets can be sent via mail.

Here are some Insider tips for visiting the Faire:
1. No outside food or beverage is allowed unless cleared by our office first (508-866-5391) but you can bring an EMPTY water bottle to fill out our water bubbler.
2. We DO have gluten-free, vegan and lactose-free menu selections listed on the website here: https://kingrichardsfaire.net/eat-and-drynk/.
3. Carvershire is in the woods… we have bees, tree roots, hot and cold weather, and even rain to contend with. And porto-pottys. Dress and plan accordingly.
4. We are open unless safety is compromised; we then make announcements on our FB page as soon as the decision is made.
5. All costumes are welcome and appreciated… you can rent costumes for all ages and sizes right inside the front gate at Seams Like A Dream! Costumed guests are the majority, not the minority… HINT: this is a “Fantasy Faire” not a medieval re-enactment like Plimouth Plantation…anything goes! We see it all… from Monty Python, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, DC/Marvel superheroes, and all kinds of cosplay… we are more of a comic con than a re-enactment!
6. Box office and food tickets are cash only but most artisans accept Lady Visa and Master Card and AMEX.
7. The woods have no wifi (big site, not enough signal) so you are on your data plan, unfortunately. Plan accordingly – it’s better near the entrance and at the joust. Bring a battery – charging is for the brave knights on horseback, not our guests’ phones.
