Figured I'd put in my tuppence worth on the subject, since we MAY actually have a sunny weekend for closing ('bout @#$% time).

Lords and Ladies,

In this year of our Lord 2003, Her Royal Majesty Queen
Elizabeth is on progress and will be visiting Staffordshire.
Come join our celebration for the arrival of Her Grace!

God Save The Queen!

Join us and discover 16th Century Elizabethan England for a
day filled with adventure, pageantry and magic. Experience
an English Country Faire day filled with hand crafted wares,
daring games, and hearty food and drink!

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth Tudor, approaches Staffordshire
once more and rumors abound of her marriage prospect. Don
Bernandino Mendoza, King Phillip's Ambassador from Spain,
seeks Elizabeth's hand in marriage. Elizabeth's own court is
ripe with suitors, each trying to gain Elizabeth's attention
for themselves, but will they be strong enough to match the
awesome romantic powers of Don Bernandino? The good people
of Stafford fear that if their Queen marries King Phillip,
all of England would suddenly fall under the domination of a
foreign King. To make matters worse, Sir Francis Drake,
having stolen the treasure that Don Bernandino was to give
the Queen as a token of affection, causes the Queen to
remove the English privateers from the open seas. Sir Walter
Raleigh, Captain of the Queen's Guard, and the privateer,
Sir Francis Drake become locked in a deadly contest of wills
with the Ambassador from Spain. Don Bernandino is intent on
forcing the game of marriage to be played by Spanish rules:
If King Phillip cannot have Queen Elizabeth, nobody can.

It is up to the good people of Staffordshire to either stop
the Queen from falling for the wiles of Don Bernandino
Mendoza or reveal him to be the murderous slime that he is.
