Renaissance Fair

This trip to Colorado didn’t only involve me trying new food places, but also trying new things and one of that was going to the Renaissance Fair. I have never been to a Renaissance Fair (but have been to Medieval Times in Florida, Maryland and Toronto, Canada) and so wanted to see what the Fair was like. I was expecting everyone to speak in Old English and to dress in Renaissance-style clothes with Renaissance-themed events and shows. Most of the people (including the employees of the fair – not sure what to call the people who worked there) did not even try to speak in Old English. Many had aspects of Renaissance clothing, but most were gothic or ultra-modern. Most people also were more into magical worlds rather than the Renaissance world. The shows we watched were good, but it was very sunny and hot outside and only one of the stages had any protection or shade. I am glad to say that I wasn’t the one who decided to leave early (although I didn’t hesitate to leave once it was brought-up.) The Renaissance Fair (at least the one in Colorado) just wasn’t for me and I probably won’t go back to it.
