never heard of one guess none is around me.

If you don't have one in your area, how would you have heard of one?

The closest one to me is in the Tampa area, so a bit of a drive. When I lived over that way I would go, but haven’t gone since I moved to the Orlando area. I would not hesitate to go, if it were closer, because it’s all outdoors really.

There's an Orlando Faire. It's only a few years old and on the smaller side, but it's a good show. I perform there. ORF

I'll have several under my belt by the end of the year. I'm a performer, we just wrapped up our first one since last year. We have a few more coming throughout the year, mostly in FL.

That makes sense. I guess I assume at some point in someone's life you've heard of it by some way. Not every place has one but most seem to have at least heard of it. I was just surprised is all, didn't mean anything by it

Oh okay. Thanks for answering

 

[Heigh-Ho]

Wrong thread haha

 

[Buzz Rules]

Yep I am too. Also its not like its in some nice spot with lots of shade trees. Its like when you are riding down the interstate and see a big open field and all the cows are under the one shade tree on the whole place.

Maybe from the Weird Al song "White & Nerdy" ?

What is your favorite foods at the faire? BBQ ribs and the frozen chocolate fruits are my favorite.

Pretzels, soup in bread bowls, sherbert in orange peels, and more lol.

What is your favorite thing to do or see at the faire?

Generally: the entertainment is always fabulous, particularly the musicians, and my girls are old enough to shop without me now so I actually get to sit and enjoy it.

Specific to the MI Ren Fest: no matter when I go it is like an impromptu reunion of my teenage/young adult social circle. I have never failed to run into at least a couple of friends from high school, college, or the club where we all hung out, either working or just there for the day. So that is always fun, seeing people that the rest of the year I only chat with occasionally on Facebook.

Summer? Penn's Renn fair is an Autumn excursion!
We don't go every year, haven't gone since I got my CD diagnosis. I think a more similar comparison would be our local 4H fair, but that was cancelled a bit ago. Would have gone if it was going since it's outside.

 

[PollyannaMom]

It’ll be in September so I’ll think more on it then

Same. I haven’t been in quite a while, so I definitely might.

Have you gone before?

Two or three times since I moved here, but not every year.

we will hit up King Richard's Faire in Sept

That’s my “local” one as well!

I think I'll skip it due to lack of interest, not covid worries.

 

[Jennasis]

If I'm going to LARP, it's going to be at the Star Wars hotel.

 

[OhBother1984]

Never heard of a renaissance fair. Not afraid of covid so if I wanted to do something I will do it.

Same here! Well I have heard of renaissance fairs just never been to one. Did go to our county fair in April and the midway was packed solid most of the time ,no masks and it was a good time.
