The Renaissance Fair is always a fun event to visit. Lots of characters, lots of laughter, lots of beer. It always fascinates me that folk who are just visiting often do so in character.
There are so many interesting things to see and do. Amy and I headed out there one weekend. I had warned her that it would be a long day. We got there as it opened at 10am and did not leave until 5pm. Besides for sampling the beer and finding some Moroccan food to eat, both of us walked away with a henna tattoo. Pity they do not last very long.
This weekend I believe the theme was Vikings and Barbarians but I felt like I saw more maids and sultans. Despite that we had a great time. I took lots of images and am only sharing a few of them for you to share in our day.

If you get a chance to visit a Renaissance festival, I would encourage you to do so. They are a whole lot of fun.
