Sherwood Forest Renassiance Faire
Last Saturday, (2/27) I attended the opening day of Sherwood Forest Faire, a new Robin Hood era faire in Bastrop County near Austin Texas. And as usual I took a whole lot of photos. Keep in mind I got most of these in the first hour or two after the gate opened, there were only a two hundred or so patrons scattered about the 25 acre site, so it seems like there are not many people. But there were about 2500 folks on site by mid-day.
an hour before opening, about 20 folks milling around..
But soon a lot more show up! Including our Queen Bonnie, who took credit for the fantastic weather!
the watch turned out for crowd control..
And the Sheriff of Nottingham told us we were an illegal assembly! He seemed offended by the cat-calls and rude gestures !
But Robin Hood and this men got the Sheriff sorted!
Welcome to Sherwood Forest !
In to the faire I go!

One more shot of Jenny from Circa Paleo, cause she's so pretty!
Here's X-Marker RadioKen by his booth, I told him I'd put his tights on the interweb!

When in Sherwood, watch your overhead!
Cassidy finds a swing, she was up there getting photographed for hours! not easy being the clan supermodel!

Sherwood Forest Faire IV
My friend Blue takes a load off by her booth.
I see some friends coming from the pub.
I go to a wedding!
My clansmen Lishy and Dennis have the first wedding at the faire in Maid Marion's Chapel.

Where the naughty people go...
My last shot of the day, heading out to the car. The shadows are getting long, and the crowd, that totaled over 3000 for the whole day, is thinning out. I had a really nice time, and I think the new faire is gonna be a great success!

Wow, you post great pics of all of these renassiance events. I'd love to go to one, just to see what it's like!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
