Faire Fun

I’m not sure if I have ever really expressed exactly how much I love the Renaissance Festival. I really do love it; the food, smells, people and the entertainment make for a wonderful day full of wonderful sights. A couple of weekends ago (sorry so late but we have not been feeling well) we went to the Ren Faire and I mostly took pictures of the sights, and by sights I mean people. I did get some of the kids since they were dressed up. Isabelle was a princess and Bear was a pirate. Cooper went as a farmer; I don’t know Ben dressed the kids I was off taking pictures.
The faire is just great, because it can encompass so many different age groups, young and old alike and people from all different walks of life. Now I did not personally interview anybody but I’m sure they have everyday jobs like, lawyers, doctors, retail workers, grocery workers or trucking. The Ren Faire brings all of these people together in a way that they might not normally associate with each other. A sort of camaraderie develops between fair goers rarely found in other venues.


So for your viewing pleasure I have complied a group of photos that I feel help to emphasize the vastness of the fair and it attendants. After all where else can you escape to for an entire day and pretend that you are someone else and be in good company. No matter what you wear no one is going to make fun of you or point and laugh. Now if you were walking down Main Street in chain mail on a Tuesday that might cause people to look at least twice. And of course some people will draw more attention than others but that is the nature of the fair and why people dress up to begin with.







The next time the Fair is in town you should try to go or visit one someplace else. It is a great experience for the entire family and you don’t have to dress up just go as you are, but if you do have a costume by all means where it, anything goes at the Ren Faire.
