Web Master's note on trinket trading and tipping!
Trinket trading is a fun part of many festivals. But please don't tip the entertainers with trinkets. This is how the entertainers make their living. Those tips help pay for gas, meals, and rent. They can't pay for dinner or tip their waitress with dice, marbles, or stickers. Some of those tips go back into the local economy that night. --thank you.
Disclaimer: This is a fan site and not an official site of any Ren Fest. I have talked to acts where trinket tipping is a problem.
