Due to recent rains, some fire restrictions have been lifted for Lochac's Canterbury Faire. William, Southron Gaard Constable, has announced that due to recent rains, some of the fire restrictions have been lifted for the upcoming Canterbury Faire in Christchurch, NZ. Attendees may now use enclosed candle lanterns outside their tents, but all other open flames are banned. William said, "The prohibition on open flames aside from gas barbeques stands. Un-enclosed candles must not be used. Barbeques must still be used in a circle of appropriately non-flammable material."

Canterbury Faire takes place February 4-9, 2004.
