rayvyn2kThese pics are from our last day at the RenFest. We went on Monday, and we stayed most of the day. We saw the glass blower guy again (see pic from last weekend's entry) and I was disappointed because they wouldn't take a credit card for payment of anything less than 75.00. I was bummed because I wanted to buy a tall mug which was 55.00. Oh, well, guess it's their loss. But mine too.
We toured the Castle Gwynn, which is a recreation of 12th or 13th century castle which was built in the 1970's and is privately owned. The man who owns it lives in it with his wife and they are the ones who put on the RenFest every year.
They only have a couple of rooms finished (that are open to the public, their private residence is upstairs) and this is one of them. Look at that cool chandelier.
On the way out there was a display of a horse statue (almost like a carosell horse) which the owner carved himself, with a suit of armor he made.
We wandered around, saw a lute player and sang some risque songs with him, then went and saw the glass blower again. On the way back from that, we watched the end of the human chess match. Then we happened to catch the end of a belly dancing act. Excellent. After that on the same stage was an AWESOME juggler. He was so funny and very talented. Here's a pic of him juggling fruit and veg:
And for his grande finale, he juggled five flaming torches...which was unbelieveable:
The last pic is of my sweet hubby (as you can see, we attended in our 'civies') riding a camel. Everyone should ride a camel once in their lives. Hee.
And that's all from the RenFest, folks!
