Renaissance Faire!
Arizona Renaissance Faire - February 18-20 2006 -
Easily the largest permanent Faire I have ever been to - A great time was
had by all! What a contrast to the smaller Pacific Northwest faires I
have gone to in recent years. It was all about entertaining the crowd,
not "historical accuracy". The public, kids and all, seemed to have a
wonderful time with a great mix of entertainments, both historical and
fantastical. Great job! All text and photos
