Medieval Fair 11.2009

Medieval Fair

Elephant

A horse and The guy with the amazing mustache

Kendra with a horse

The Flying Debris guy (aka Ted Mase's twin)

This kid loved being on stage

The joust

I should have hired this guy

I walked over to Robarts Arena where the Medieval Fair was being hosted. It was great to see the city so alive on a beautiful Saturday morning. Motorcycle classes were going on in the parking lot next to the Robart's building, (poor bastards were suited up, head-to-toe); the baseball field was filled with practice squads; and the Fair, which was in the fields out by the DMV.

I loved the Fair! The character actors walking around in costume; the jousting; the human combat chess match - it's all fascinating to me. For a couple bucks you can throw a variety of weapons at a wall. Axes, knives, ninja stars ... even arrows. They had a Jacob's Ladder which provided some entertainment, as well as elephant rides and a huge selection of vendors. I barely resisted bringing a sword home. I watched the Flying Debris show, the guy was fantastic, bring kids on stage and incorporating them into his act. Also, he looks and acts a lot like the fabulous Ted Mase. I will look forward to it next year.
