We have only missed the Renaissance Festival (held every year just outside of Mesa, Arizona) one or maybe two years since moving to Arizona; thus, we are more likely to attend at least once than not at all.

This is great inexpensive entertainment offering shows, shopping, crazy people in costume, turkey legs, Queen Ann’s Lace, Caroline’s favorite – the Lusty Wench (two chocolate-covered strawberries provocatively posed), vegetarian breakfast sausages (great pickles), the King’s Nuts (candied almonds) and an occasional surprise, such as this goose that gave Caroline a nice little hug.
