Medieval Festival

Also Called a Renaissance Festival

Take your pick, we don’t know history anyway. Or they cover the spectrum. Costumes tend to be a mishmash of cultures and periods, but still everyone likes to wear them, see them, and indulge in the atmosphere. This festival was a week ago. Vendors come from all over, especially from Germany. Many exhibitors have elaborate living tents and furnishings they set up in the “camp.” Sellers also set up tents or awnings for their wares. 

This is what we saw first: traffic control in costume.



Not part of the festivities. Just out for a drive on a Sunday. 





The camp for those exhibitors who stay over night.



Wood turning







Hand forged as you watched





An impressive chess set



This says pine cone ice cream. The line was very long. 



Sword fight practice. 







Excuse the finger, but it was a quick snap. 




Note the resting figure inside.

We will pause here, too, until next installment. 
Tournaments coming up.
