HipsterDufus Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I was just curious if anyone here went to the Renaissance Festival in Holly, Michigan. I'm kinda thinking about going, but I'm not sure which week would be the best. I'll probably just come in civilian clothing, since I don't ever just feel the need to go out and blow money on a costume. Here's the website.

HipsterDufus Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well, if Brenda is interested, I have no problem planning around her visit. Otherwise, I'm free most weekends, especially in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassFusion Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've never been and I REALLY want to go, and I'm probably getting two free tickets for giving blood. I'd definitely want to wait till around the end of September. I mean jeez, I just opened the door to let the dog out and it was like opening the oven. 'Cept the oven isn't on so it's not as hot in the oven as it is outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Hearts Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Can I just say something? -These people at the renaissance festival are abslute freaks. I mean someone please tell me what exactly is going on there. I don't understand the premis. -I see people dressed as knights getting into their Volvos...and I'm just shocked.

HipsterDufus Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 The only one I've ever been to is the one just east of Kalamazoo. It was a blast. I've heard the one in Holly is bigger and better by an exponential amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1958 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hmmm, a trip to the Renaissance festival. I wonder if it would be fun? Mich Ren Faire I would have to say yes. Each weekend is a themed weekend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarrIL Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'll be going the weekend of the Highland Fling. Saturday to be exact. At least, provided I get that weekend off, even after I requested it. ;_; Going in full costume that mother made last year, not including the corset. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Silver Leaf in Kalamazoo just ended this past weekend I believe. Tough time to do a renfair when its so hot to dress up. In the past we have done a couple of outings with DGN people to the RenFair. We usually met up at Farmer Jacks when they used to sell them. Kroger sold them last year and will this year as well. I usually go 2 or 3 times at least during this time. This year might be moreso since I am home most weekends. I do have stuff that I wear and I buy something new every year. I think this year I will be buying boots and a pair of pants. I have a couple of swords so hopefully they will let people bring them again this year, though the website says nay.

Dubh Aingeal Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 You can generally find me either sitting by the main pub or by the jousting field. Stop by and say Hey.

Patrons are allowed too since 2 morons decided to fight over a woman and used their swords to make their points. (pun intended). Altho a friend who works it said that if you have just a handle secured to the scabbard so that there is no true blade and it cannot be removed from your belt, you may be allowed to carry it for effect. Best bet is to contact them thru their website for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
