Episode 15 - More Festivals, Festivals, Festivals

Episode 15:

Bonjour! Welcome to Coffee Talk with King Francois I, episode 15, More Festivals, Festivals, Festivals. In this episode, I will be highlighting more Renaissance Festivals here in the US with their names and upcoming April, May, and June dates.

Before we do that, you will hear the response I received from a fellow performer and friend, Brent Jones, where he shares his coffee preferences and a favorite Ren Faire experience story or two. So, grab a cup of your favorite java, sit back, and enjoy this episode of Coffee Talk with King Francois I.
