This came from a family out in Wisconsin. Sir Devon and Troupe, My family and I recently attended the Chippewa Falls Renaissance Faire for the first time and were blown away by your show. My son told us that we are definitely going to be back next year no matter what. Hopefully your crew will return also. The battle between Dame Fiona and you made our day. We went to all three shows and stayed the entire day. By the way, she did cheat!! Sir Jack and Sir William were equally impressive as your seconds. Jim Cooley

There was so much good stuff in this letter we received in June of 2008, it made us blush. Here's some of the hilights: Huge tremendous thanks to you and Becca and all the crew for the magnificent job you all did. [...] Wow! I wish I could have spent more time watching the shows because you were all so great. I did particularly notice how hard you all worked and how you timed things perfectly. [...] I can't think of anyone I've worked with who was so dedicated to making the event a success. I really appreciate everything you did. [...] I will pass your name on wherever and whenever I can. Not only was the show tremendous and your skill superior but your professionalism and showmanship was simply outstanding. For me, personally, it was your shows that totally made that event. Just watching you ride in on the horses in costume made it all come together for me. The client expressed the same joy and appreciation for how great you were. Sincerely, Debbie Lestz Teahan Creative Director The Mystery Company www.mysterycompany.net

This Came to us by way of Brian H Harvard, General Manager for The Connecticut Renaissance Faire Paragon Jousting is THE only reason we returned, all four weekends [to The Connecticut Renaissance Faire]! The acting group is, without a doubt, superlative in their portrayal of a Medieval ritual that requires horse and rider to be of equal ability. Paragon Jousting has the unique combination of talented actors and actresses with skilled equestrians and horses to match. I have nothing but praise for them, for their skill and sensitivity to the audience, in particular children. Their translation of heros and heroines into our 21st century is vital to the development of great future citizens, our kids! We need that in the world, NOW! As a Mom I was thrilled to see true heros and heroines erring on the side of good... THAT is very rare! Congratulations on the success of the Faire! See you next year... as long as good and evil joust, and Arthurian truth triumphs, we will be there! Sincerely, Mary We look forward to seeing you too Mary. Stop by and say hello.

Thank you again for a wonderful performance...I never doubted for a moment that Paragon [Jousting] would deliver anything less than a spectacular performance and not a single patron or participant was disappointed. I sincerely hope that you will consider joining us again next year. Regards to the rest of the Paragon team with our heartfelt thanks and a resounding "Huzzah!" Diane Reeder, Founder, Director The Queens Galley Hudson Valley Mayfaire

As administrator for the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, I produced the organization's first renaissance faire this summer. (2005) Our featured performers were Paragon Jousting and Adventure Theater from Massachusetts. It is without reservation that I would highly recommend Paragon for your faire. I have no doubt that they will be an incredible asset to your show. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Rodlin and his staff. M.A. Tarpinian, Administrator Cairo Chamber of Commerce Catskill Mountains Renaissance Faire

Just running down my list of notes and making sure we are all set for the annual Strolling of the Bovine Beauties, in Brattleboro. Nicely done on the website, so I know we are on your calendar, but I wanted to ask if there's anything we can do, should know, or can do to make your day a little easier??
Fortunately, having seen your organization in operation over the years, you certainly appear as one of the best prepared, but this IS a heartfelt offer and quick chance to check in before the big day. Hope all is well, looking forward to seeing you there.

I attended the show this past Sunday in Linden [June 18, Medieval Majesty] and was very impressed. I did some searching on the Internet and found you "guys" also have a nice web-site. It was interesting to see the credentials and talent of the cast members - very professional. The faire reminded me of Rothenburg Germany, a medieval walled city. If you ever find yourself in that part of the world, it's well worth the time to see.
Anyway, I wish you luck in your career and thanks for the great performance.

For the second year in a row, Paragon Jousting has presented an entertaining, dynamic, and professional show. The caliber of the performers, their interaction with the patrons, and the obvious enjoyment that the Paragon staff demonstrated, strongly enhanced the entire atmosphere and ambiance of my faire. Under the meticulous direction of owner and producer,Scott Rodlin, the company has raised the bar of excellence in the Renfaire entertainment circuit.
Best Regards and Sincerest Appreciation

Thanks again for being part of the CTRF family! Your show continues to amaze and delight not only our THOUSANDS of patrons but me as well...every single time I see it. CTRF is on top because of shows like yours. It is an honor and pleasure to have you with us (except for when my gaming people shoot at your knights). Please pass my personal thanks to your cast and crew. It is their dedication to Paragon and CTRF that makes working with all of you so easy and something I look forward to every year.
