Opening Day at Faire

[Zardoz]

Last Saturday, (2/19), was opening day for the second annual Sherwood Forest Faire near Austin Texas. I was out with some of the Girltorage and my Dad in tow. The faire has had quite a few changes and improvements since last year, and not just the permanent privies! It continues to exceed my expectations.

On to some photos;

We'll start at the front gate, where Robin and his Merry men give welcomes, and the occasional fashion critique, to the opening day patrons.


Here's my Dad, at 79 years old enjoying his first renfaire from the throne in Sherwood's stone circle.


There are about 15 new shops and structures on the grounds, including this new waterwheel and merry go round.






Of course I had some of the Girltorage along.... They're all Sci-Fi fans, and when we went to do this photo I said "Hey this would be like Lazarus Long, but we need a couple nekkid redheads!" No takers on that one!



And I never miss a Circa Paleo performance!
