GPRF Gate Keepers

Greetings to our fellow volunteers, performers, vendors, and patrons from the GPRF Gatekeepers on this gorgeous Festival Day That Wasn't. We just wanted to say we miss you! Our festival is literally nothing without you!

Stay safe and stay healthy, and we hope to see you this fall!!

Sometimes it's the little things that make a festival great. This random gift from a child last weekend definitely counts!

Shameless and I both agree... everyone should go at least once!! Fortunately, there's a festival coming up in Wichita in just over 3 weeks!

Why Everyone Should Go to a Renaissance Festival at Least Once First of all, jousting is the coolest. You are never too cool for jousting.

Another sneak peek of what's coming this fall for the 20th anniversary Fall Great Plains Renaissance Festival! Some old pieces are finding new life. What will they be? You'll have to come out and see for yourself September 28 & 29!!!

Something special is coming for the Royal Rubber Duck Preserve...

The GPRF Gate Keepers crew have been busy behind the scenes preparing for the fall festival's big anniversary! Huzzah for 20 Years!

A little sneak peek of what the Gate Keepers have going on behind the scenes for the anniversary this fall... #gprfgatekeepers #gprffacelift #huzzah20years #greatplainsrenfest

We've been working hard today despite the heat. Part of the old GPRF ticket boxes have become something much more fun... at least for some of us! Look for the finished piece this fall at the 20th Anniversary Fall Festival! #gprfgatekeepers #gprffacelift #greatplainsrenfest #huzzah20years

Now that materials are trickling in, tis time to make it official!

This summer, Dame Angela and select members of the Gate Keepers will be completely rebuilding the festival entrance for GPRF! The new Gate House will debut at the 20th Anniversary Fall Festival and will feature redesigned ticket and will call boxes, improved accessibility, and a better layout for traffic flow with separate entrance and exit lanes.

In addition, the crew will be painting photo props for setup all around the festival, building a game or two for patrons and performers alike, and perhaps even crafting a few surprises!

With the 20th Anniversary Fall Festival coming up, there's never been a better time to become a part of the magic-- if you've ever wanted to see what volunteering is all about, send the page a message or click the "Send Email" button above to get in touch with Dame Angela.

On second thought, Shameless has decided there are definitely enough nuts... it's wood that's lacking! #ShamelessTheSquirrel #gprfgatekeepers #gprffacelift #greatplainsrenfest #huzzah20years

Shameless the Squirrel is not convinced that this plan has enough nuts... #ShamelessTheSquirrel #gprfgatekeepers #gprffacelift #greatplainsrenfest #huzzah20years
