The BC Renfest
21:10 Posted In Holidays , Travel Edit This 2 Comments »
My girlfriend and I made our yearly trip out to BC for the Renaissance Faire again. The weather was excellent and other than a few hiccups (flat tire, some unexpected work in setting up etc) the trip went quite well. We were not sure what to expect given that it was at a new location (Thunderbird Show Park) but overall I think the crowd turnout was decent. From a vendor perspective we both did exceptionally well, and I heard some other vendors comment the same. We had new jousters present to show off their skill as well as some new characters to entertain us. We were so busy we did not get to see all the scenes so I am a bit fuzzy on the storyline. But suffice to say the King James and Queen Margaret once again had to land in Stellars Grove and sort out a few things - not the least of which was being attacked by Spanish pirates while sailing aboard the Jade Dragon.

Oh, it was lovely fun, and very busy! Hopes it all happens as well next year. :-) Methinks I may need to make a few more bigger hats...and tricorns as well. Hmmm...something to ponder...
