My friends and I were saying the same thing. They jump right in with both feet. This, in my opinion, might be a little more fun than war, but to each his own.

Similar to the war re-enactors - very much in character.

It seems like the planning of this one, even by the participants who make minimal $$, is extensive. They little pop up communities on site for its duration.<br />We have so many festivals in the summer, and it's just so warm. Most festivals I've attended are fun at the start but as the sun rises in the sky it's miserable. We had storm brewing during this one so the cloud cover was wonderful. It was a pleasant day.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-18100940371774652972016-05-04T21:19:19.096-07:002016-05-04T21:19:19.096-07:00I think some are "addicted" to it.

It was fun rooting for our knight. How often do you do that? :)<br />SBD County is giant compared to LA County. For an urban area, LA is quite large, but SBD county is about 5 times larger in area...not in people though.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-68585521031680381762016-05-04T21:06:44.176-07:002016-05-04T21:06:44.176-07:00Ha!

We were out of place in our regular clothes. Maybe!! :)Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-62339323574164861922016-05-04T17:16:33.734-07:002016-05-04T17:16:33.734-07:00That's a long fair.

When I lived in Cedar City, UT, there was a fair that went for several days... but then the city also had the Utah Shakespearean Festival that went all summer and into the fall.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-29749055242580719122016-05-04T12:56:41.682-07:002016-05-04T12:56:41.682-07:00Wow, this is something you can visit weekly !.
I e...Wow, this is something you can visit weekly !.<br />I expect it's something you could become very addicted too, and even go so far as to include husband,wife and a gaggle of sprogs is a sorta 'life' that may become even more real than going to work as an accountant for a bank, oil co. or studio.<br />I'm not sure about the jousting off horseback.<br />I think there was a film made about it a while back with Jane Lynch.<br /><br />Looking for San Bernadino gave me some notion of the sheer size of that city you live. Dammit the next place is Tucson. <br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-51878119221087341762016-05-04T12:18:00.348-07:002016-05-04T12:18:00.348-07:00I love all your photos!

My son and his girl ran up on one in Minneapolis and sent me a few photos. <br /><br />The closest I've come to seeing anything like this is the King Arthur's Tournament show in Las Vegas (which I've seen and enjoyed four times!). <br /><br />I know a year is a long way off, but you must dress up next time and remember to share photos here. :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
