The Highland Fair

 I had never been to a Renaissance fair before or any other thing like that so when my best friend Cassandra told me about it I was so happy and I had a great time with her there.  I took place at the Zoo (which actually is not a zoo anymore because they had to get rid of a lot of animals) last Saturday and Sunday, the hottest weekend on the month, and we went on Sunday.

I am such a dork...

Cassandra took that of me before we left.  And as we were on our way I realized I left my water at home and also my camera!  But thankfully she brought her's so all of the pictures in this post are the ones she took, but personally I would have gone picture taking crazy as I do when I bring my camera places. 

The Highland fair was a mix of medieval and Renaissance themes, and I would have loved to taken pictures of all the people in their awesome costumes that most had made themselves, they were pretty amazing.  I so could have easily spent at least a hundred dollars there or more, but I only had very little to spend, and I spent a total of $2...yes $2.  One dollar for water and another for a cool little handmade clay bowl.  Most all of the venders there sold handmade stuff with the medieval theme going on, and I love medieval nicknacks, especially dragans and unicorns.

When we were there they had a bellydance show at the amptheater that we went to watch.  I can't remember the name of the group but they go all around the state and they were really good.



This was there last act.

And this was the peacock that follows people around the zoo...don't all zoo's have one?

After walking around the zoo for awhile looking at all of the stands and wishing we had the money to buy stuff in the blazing heat we went for ice cream we sat in on an Opera, and it was alright.

This is one of the Opera singers.

Also while I was there I noticed that there were a lot of gothy types there, the only place here were I have seen that many in one place, and honestly it was kind of cool.

This is the bowl I bought, and I like the coating inside.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." ~ Joshua 1:9b

 

I had more to spend but I had something else in mind to buy at Hastings.  The cross necklace in the picture is what I really wanted to buy with part of the birthday money I had, it coast $9.99.  The Bible verse bellow the picture is what is written on the back of the cross, a Bible verse that means a lot to me and that I will always be able to carry around with me.
