 Liz
and I upon arrival at the festival grounds opening weekend. |
 Liz
poses for a pic. |
 Liz
found the children's tent near the entrance and did some art/craft
things. |
 Liz,
with a friend she made at the children's tent. One of the best
things about my girl is that she makes friends very easy. |
 Here
are some of the festival cast members as they walked in from the main
entrance. |
 More
Ren faire folk. |
 This
guy was pretty interesting, only he talked like he'd been drinking
for days... |
 Our
first show was the the London Broil... mildly amusing bunch... |
 Liz
loves to try out the rides. Here she is on one of many to come... |
 They
had a huge rocking horse which Liz decided to ride. |
 Liz
and me on another ride... |
 They
had the coolest Ent looking creature at the faire. This is a
pic Tillman took of me with the tree. |
 Liz
wasn't quite sure what to make of it. |
 Liz
begrudgingly agreed to pose with Tillman for a photo. |
 More
Ren faire folk. |
 Liz
got her face painted. It really enhanced the look of her fairy
costume. |
 Then
Liz got in on a game of broom tag with some of the other faire folk.
The premise of the game is that any tree is base. If the person
holding the broom touches you while not on base, your it! |
 My
mischievous little fairy taunted this performer while she was it. |
 Oops!
She got caught and had to be it for a while. |
 Tillman
and me. |
 Camel
ride... |
 Birdman.
He really did act and sound like an annoying crow. |
 Liz,
passing out dream stones and fairy dust to these little girls. |
 My
daughter got a real kick out of this lady and her unicorn. |
 We
made a point to see The Mud Show... VERY DIRTY! |
 There
is a reason they call it The Mud Show. |
 These
guys just don't get paid enough to eat dirt. |
 My
fairy, visiting with the Mayor and Lady Mayor. |
 Another
pic with the governing bodies... |
 Liz
and I towards the end of the day. This is one of my favorite pics. |
 Liz
poses solo for this photo. |
 One
more time for the camera... :) |
 Tillman
scanned this photo taken at the festival of all three of us. |
 Tillman
and I returned the weekend before closing for my birthday. |
 Don
Juan and Miguel. These guys WILL make you laugh. I
think they are one of the better acts at the NC faire. |
 Fowl
Tales was another interesting show, mainly because of the exotic, and
very colorful birds. |
 A
picture of Tillman by the jousting arena. Don't he look good?
:) |
 I
mean really, isn't he dashing? !! |
 ... |
 Zilch,
the Torysteller. I wish I could say he was funny, but I couldn't
understand half of what he said. |
 This
man was an interesting character. |
 Close
up of the same guy... perfect example of what draws me to renfests. |
 Me
next to a statue by the main entrance. I have no idea what I was
looking at. |
 Another
pic. I think I was going for a certain look, but I don't think I
got the look I was going for... |
 The
Birds of Prey show. This photo is of the Hawk (me thinks...) |
 I
thought the owl was the most interesting bird. |
 Face
shot of the owl. |
