THERE IS AN ANNUAL RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL IN CONCORD, NC WHICH IS WHERE THE RACE IS LOCATED ABOUT 30 MINS NORTH OF US. IT WAS OUR FAMILY'S FIRST RENAISSANCE ANYTHING, SO WE HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT. I GUESS WE EXPECTED PEOPLE DRESSING UP, ROLE PLAYING, SWORD FIGHTING AND FOLKS WALKING AROUND EATING BIG CHICKEN DRUMSTICK. WE DID SEE ALL THE ABOVE, BUT WE SAW A WHOLE LOT MORE! ONCE WE WALKED THROUGH THE MEDIVAL GATES, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE SAW WAS ONE OF THOSE WHITE PLASTIC FIGHTER GUYS FROM STAR WARS?!?! IN A SKIRT?!?! IT WAS REFRESHING TO LEARN THIS IS WHERE STAR WARS ALL STARTED-PHEW!!!! UNFORTUNATELY, I WASN'T CAMERA READY AT THAT TIME.
FIRST THINGS FIRST....MACY GOT A UNICORN "PROFESSIONALLY" PAINTED ON HER CHEEKY!
PIRATE SHIP RIDE
CAMEL TREK WITH MR. MAGOO!!! THIS WAS GOOD/NO SPITTING
FAIRY BUTTERFLY RIDE
MACY AND DADDY WATCHING THE JOUSTING....
NOW....THIS POOR FELLA SAT ON THE GROUND FOR HOURS WHACKING AWAY AT HIS HEAD WITH A PAN?!?! FOR MONEY!!!! ONCE SOMEONE PUT SOMETHING ON HIS PLATE HE WOULD HONK AN OL' BRASS HORN THROUGH HIS NOSE. AND THEN HE'D START WHACKING AGAIN UNTIL SOMEONE GAVE HIM MORE COINS??? CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS IS WHERE THEY GOT THE TERM "PAN HANDLING" FROM? HE SURE WAS HANDLING HIS PANS WELL!!!
FARE THEE WELL FESTIVAL!!!
