This year the Mermaids of the Great Salt Lake have seen some big changes. After years of being owned and managed by MerQueen Lei Loni, the pod was handed over to Lady Aine. Although MerQueen Lei Loni is very busy, she can still be found at some of our events, although she sometimes shows up as the Sea Witch Morganna.
Unfortunately we have had to say goodbye to some of our mermaids, but we have said hello to some new ones. There will be a brand new mermaid debuting at our next scheduled event in February.
Speaking of events, we sure enjoyed some great events this past summer!
In early June we appeared at Crone's Hollow's Fairy Fest. We met so many cute lil fairies there, and I think I even spotted a couple of lil future mermaids in the crowd.
Then in the middle of June Princess Pearl and I went to New York to judge the Coney Island Mermaid Parade! Oh my goodness, so many beautiful mermaids. We had so much fun! Then we went down to the beach where people were taking pictures of us. Princess Pearl attracted so much attention with her beautiful shiny tail!
In July Princess Pearl and I went to Soda Springs, Idaho to appear at the Dragonfyre Faire. We met a great family of Pirates. They even serenaded me with a funny little song. We handed out many seashells that weekend, and even some mermaid tears for some youngsters that were on a quest.
Then in August we appeared at Pagan Pride Day. We met some fantastic people that day, and that is actually where we found our newest mermaid. Lucky us!
We are looking forward to many more appearances in the near future. We really enjoy meeting new people at all of the events that we attend.
