    Scarborough Renaissance Festival

    The wife and myself are going up to Waxahachie this weekend to play at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival on Saturday (April 16th). Never been to this one before.

    I'll be kilted, of course (although not in period costume... just regular casual attire).

    Anybody else going to be there?

    Scarborough is one of the faires I would love to hit some day. It's not in the cards for this year, though. You should come to Rendezvous! We're hosting it in Colorado this year!

    Been there the last few years. It is a good faire, but bring $$ as the food is expensive.
    If you are in close to period dress they will let you march with the Queens Own Highlanders brigade. I have marched several times and it is a good time.
    I have set up the Clan Keith tent there a couple times during Scottish weekend, but now they want a "period" tent and all chairs and tables. I am not doing this year with that and they want every one in the clan tents to talk in fake Scottish accents.
    Go have a good time. As a tourist or playtron it is fun.

    Really?

    You mean you don't have a period tent and furniture just sitting around in your garage waiting to be used?

    Yes... I do... But then again, I'm a reenactor... so I don't count.

    Kiltboy;
    I am afraid that with all the stuff crammed into my garage at this point, I don't know what is all there; but I am fairly certain that there isn't a brochade tent with roe bucks embroidered on it. Not to mention that I don't have heavy wood furniture to take to make my tent "period."
    You saw my tent in Dallas.

    I, Uilleam 'Wolfhawk' Kerr, will be part of the Queen's Royal Highlander Guard, making sure the Her Majesty, Queen Margaret gets from place to place in a 'protected manner'. I server her from Open Cannon, once the gates open till after Scots Court, at which time I retire to the Court Dance for some entertainment and enjoyment in dance with the ladies of the realm. I will be wearing a leapord skin sash, and a targe (on Sat only more than likely).

    I was around (in civies) yesterday and couldn't find your shop. The site doesn't list it.

    What is it near? I'll be out this weekend as well (FoF pass) and will stop by.
