Thanks for stopping by this
website. The website has been updated with pictures and videos form
my trip to the festival on Saturday 11/20/2010.
I have taken a lot of pictures
and some short videos of performers at the festival. I was very
impressed with this festival and found it is fun for the whole
family. The crowd was very friendly with many people posing for me
as I took their picture. I have to say the owners and the people
running this festival have a 1st class entertainment venue going.
Every year the festival is getting larger and better. The place was
packed with people as you will see in the pictures. Even thought it
was crowded with people there were no waiting in long lines for
anything. The kids rides may have had 5 to 10 waiting in line but
nothing longer than a few minutes. I attribute the short lines to
there being so much to do. If you are hungry you will find a large
selection of food to choose from. From the singing pickle guy to the
turkey legs and about 15 other booths selling all types of food. For
the people that just have the munches there is fresh candy apples,
popcorn, cotton candy, stuffed baked potatoes and countless other
stuff.
There were many live
demonstrations going on. You have a wood carver, cotton weaver, face
painting, several musicians playing instruments of the kinds.
Several card trick and slight of hand magicians. I have to say that
the glass blowing demonstration was one of the best.
I've saved the best for last. The jousting is probably the number
attraction at the festival. The men in armor on the horses with their
lances is really a sight to see. They are really doing the real
thing trying to knock each other off their house. It's a great show
that happens two times a day. Make sure you see this one!
There is a lot more that I have not covered. I will let the pictures
and videos do the rest of the talking.
The three people dressed up say they do this every year and love it.
This is outside the festival at the ticket center. Lines move fast
and it's only a couple of minutes to get your tickets.
