King Richard's Faire, Part 1

King Richard's Faire in Carver opened over Labor Day weekend, and runs on the weekends, through mid-October.  We went on the 3rd weekend.  Once again, I had to sign a waiver saying I wouldn't profit from my photos.  *rolls eyes*  Some of the vendors are also really, really snotty about having pics take of their wares, so I had to sneak a ton of shots.  










Loved this old circle on the ground.


Despite the weather forecast of only 30% chance of rain, it poured for the first 20 minutes or so when we first arrived.  But that didn't deter my sweetie from trying his hand at a few games like the dart throw....

...and axe toss.

Four out of four, perfectly grouped!  I was impressed!!

The obligatory 'Man and His Turkey Leg: It's a Beautiful Thing" picture.




The weather finally started to clear up and we drifted around, people watching and window shopping.



Awwww poor baby!!!!

  1. Didn't know he was a leftie. Like Vincent...

    You seem to have much more of this period fayre type of thing than we do. Or maybe I just don't hear about the "native" stuff.

  3. Yes Val, he's a leftie. :D It really is a fun afternoon but a very, very expensive afternoon too. The food concessions are outrageous. Oh, and he forgot to bring his drivers license and they ID EVERYONE buying beer. So I got the wrist bracelet and the beer, then we hid and I carefully pealed the bracelet off my wrist and put it on his. lmao

    Glad you're not making a profit on your photos. *shaking my head along with you*
