Long Live The Queen!!!


So Wendy and I saw an advertisement for a Renaissance Fair in Silverton, OR. We thought about finding some 15th century clothes, but in the end just went as ourselves. The fair was really well done in that the whole village was medieval style. The schedule was packed with amazing things to see and do.   
 There was a queen that had a royal guard and most people bowed to her as she went by on her noble steed.
 Wendy with a local entertainer. He was actually a magician and did a trick where he floated a table that was absolutely amazing.
 I asked the queen if I could take a picture before the joust began. She obliged and I thanked her for her royal kindness.
 One of the jousting knights. He was also pretty funny.
 The atmosphere was so intense as the knights get ready to joust to the almost death.

If you ever get a chance to go to a Ren Fair. You should take it because it is so much fun to see what life would have been like. Or at least get as close as possible.
