29th Central Coast Renaissance Festival

20 & 21 ~ JUL ~ 2013

The year 1585 came to Laguna Lake Park, the new location for the Central California Coast Renaissance Festival. By all accounts that I heard, people were happy with the new location. Granted, there were a few kinks to work out, but those were minor issues and did not hinder the good times. The weather was good, the people were wonderful, and the shows and demonstrations were enjoyable. Let's look at some photographs...

Her Majesty the Queen

Her Majesty arrives at the shire. Sir Walter Raleigh, ever resourceful, also arrives
~ with his instant puddle (just add water) and his cape.
And chivalry is born.

Jumping Rope

You ain't shown us nuthin' 'til ya can do it in a hoop skirt.
