“We have friends that have done this show for a long time,” she says. “Everybody loves this festival.”
Liza says she got involved with fairs 30 years ago and was a strolling minstrel playing guitar and singing Irish, Scottish, English, Celtic- type music before meeting the shop’s former owner.
“In the off-season, when I didn’t have performances, I would work for him,” she says, adding that she later landed a chance to buy the fragrance part of the business.
“We’ve been doing it full-time ever since” she says, noting that she and Jerry currently handle about half a dozen shows annually, plus the website.

If thy Democracy is lacking in valor, tryeth Monarchy. /
Death by iron maiden is more appealing than watching their favourite movie for the twenty seventh time. /
Trade thine nine iron for valyrian steel. /
If thy offspring utter Are we there yet? once more, have them hung, drawn, and quartered /
A day in the rack sounds better than thy minivan after soccer practice
