Renaissance Fair

The Renaissance Fair has the potential to be one of the best dates you've ever been on. However that is coming from a guy that loves the renaissance. One of the best thing about it is all of the shows you can see. There are sword swallowers, acrobats, torch jugglers, Dexter Tripp that walks up a tightrope that is on fire, and many other hilarious shows that you will never see any where else. Also the shops are all very original and interesting. There is a lot of symbolism in the jewelry sold there and they have all sorts of other shops from a wand shop to a incense shop, the shops there have goods you've never seen or even knew existed. The turkey legs are great and there is food being sold all over. However, it is pricey. They have elephant and camel rides. Yes, they are real elephants and camels. A lot of the extra attractions cost money, but all the shows are free. If you get the coupon online and go on presidents day or opening weekend you can get buy one get one free for tickets. The Renaissance Fair is seasonal so check on the web site for when it will be open. I highly reccomend going, but it might not be for everyone. If you don't really like the idea all that much you and your date would probably be better off with something a little more traditional. Also try to leave a little early because getting out of the parking lot after the festival just ended can be a nightmare. Overall though it's a great date!
