Ren Faires

[nera at rconnect.com]

When I first started reading this thread, I had no idea what you were 
talking about. Then, I realized you were talking about Renaissance 
Faires ... oh! (are they always spelled with an *e* at the end? I 
thought they would be spelled Fairs.

Anyway, I went to my first and only RF in New Jersey, somewhere. It 
was about a 2 hour drive north of Montclair, New Jersey. No clue, 
really. I loved it! I also did not realize that all of the people in 
costume were not part of the show. How interesting! 

I have always enjoyed reading about that period of history. I have 
always thought that I was a scullery maid in a former life. As a 
waitress, I am not fairing much better in this one, I am afraid.

I think there is an RF in Minnesota, and now that you all have 
sparked an interest here, I may just have to check out where and 
when. Is there a website for that sort of thing?

Doreen, who would have to have a bottle-green dress just because.
