Shanachie at The Northern California Renaissance Faire 2000, Vacaville, CA
Thanks to the combined efforts of Cat's camera
and Bonnie Kerr's skill for these pictures
 

The young Colleen wanders into the land of Faerie

 

and is surrounded by the Sidhe


 

The musicians show off

 

Colleen wisely refuses to eat or drink

 

and is surrounded by angry Sidhe


 

A song explains that if she wins three challenges, she may go home

 

She wins the first (light shoe) challenge


 

The Sidhe dance, certain of their superiority


 

She wins the second (hard shoe) challenge too


 

And the third by the bodhran player


 

Finally the Sidhe all challenge her at once

 

The Queen of the Sidhe changes from anger to to resignation

 

And they all dance together
