The swing I used to push at faire..... great times are truly missed

[@donmak0427]

I've been attending this Ren Faire for the last 5 years or so - it's a blast! I rode that push, up-down carousel once and nearly tossed my cookies - pretty remarkable for 16th century technology. All the amazing costumes, the activities, shows, hand-made goods, foods, music, and more. This year's is coming up (Sep 13, 2014) and I'll be there again.

I've been attending the faire here in PA since 2004 and I still love it

[@donmak0427]

sadlobster1 Cool. Do you costume-up? I'm putting one together that will have a "Three Musketeers" look.

[@sadlobster1]

Don Saito I've worn a knight's tunic there during two occasions

[@donmak0427]

sadlobster1 Yeah, I usually just wear a peasant's shirt. like the one in the picture (above) for this video. Gotta start "blending in" with the crowd more ;-)

[@sadlobster1]

Don Saito What are your thoughts regarding all those "critics" whining about accuracy

[@ebonknight]

How cool!!

Has anyone ever been to the Faire when it was held in Novato? I've been once and just wanted to know how it measures up, before driving all the way there from San Jose.

[@sandimarchi53]

I used to work there many many years ago. I thought it had been closed down and the land sold there in black point in Novato California. I have to say those memories were great ones! It was amazing to be able to be part of that! I miss it very much! It was amazing!

Good effort but that queens progress parade was some weak ass sauce,comparatively speaking of course. its like the watered down version of the original . dominos pizza & cerritos auto center proudly presents .....

[@missjennybrewer]

like wheres the guy who manages this parade? Im no actor but Rick Boeman kept his shit tight , I guess they dont feel they need it, my guess is they are just kinda making it up as they go which is kinda a shame cause it usta be epic,
