This weekend was all about the Ohio Renaissance Festival! This festival starts around Labor Day and ends right before Halloween. We've been going every year for approximately 10 years and I've never been disappointed. Despite some recently developed pain in my heels, I was more than happy to tread up and down the hills on the fair ground to see the wonderful shows and take in the crafts and food. I highly recommend it!
How does this relate to my hiking? Well, we were on our feet for about 3 out of 4 1/2 hours (my heels will attest to that). The grounds are not paved and are far from flat, so you definitely have to put in some physical effort to move around. And if the hills don't get you, the gravel paths will! We covered approximately 2 plus miles Sunday afternoon taking in the entertainment, which was often located on opposite sides of the grounds.
The pictures above are as follows:
Picture #1 - Our good Queen Elizabeth (represented by a new person this year) and her royal court.
Picture #2 - An on-rushing knight in the midst of a joust.
Picture #3 - The Skull and Bones swordsmen troupe. Great act! They are not "The Swordsmen" quite yet, but they are a close second!
Picture #4 - Daniel, Duke of Danger - One of my favorite acts of the faire. If you go, you must catch his act! In this picture he is preparing for one of his balancing acts and trying to draw in the crowd.
