With all the writing and illustration practice that's been
occupying my time recently, I decided to take a little break for some
Ohio Renaissance Festival fun! Renaissance Festivals are a jolly
good time for Fantasy writers and Fantasy lovers alike, and my festival
troupe included my good writing buddy, my little sister, and her medieval-fanatic
friend.
The Ohio Renaissance Festival takes place in Harveysburg, OH, at a permanent, recreated 16th century English village. It's brimming with shops, shows, and
Renaissance enthusiasts in every sort of costume imaginable. We spent
our day:
Eating ginormous turkey legs....
 |
| Huzzah for turkey legs! |
Watching hilarious shows...
 |
| Men in tights are always funny! :) |
Trying on tails...
 |
| Apparently these are fashionable? |
And watching jousting tournaments!
 |
| Knights + horses + collisions = awesome! |
The joust is always my favorite part of the day, and this year's
tournament featured knights from one of my favorite TV shows, "Full Metal
Jousting." I even got my picture taken with the knight I'd been rooting
for during the TV finale!
 |
| Sir Matthew was kind enough to pose for a picture with me! |
After stuffing myself with turkey, cider, and
cheesecake-on-a-stick; purchasing my share of Renaissance wares;
and satisfying my craving for sports involving horses and pointy
objects, I'm ready to get back to work again! But it certainly is nice to
take a break from the boring 21st century for a day! :)
