Just a Reminder

I just wanted to remind any readers I have in Maryland that the Maryland Renaissance Festival will be kicking off in a month. It opens August 26th and runs till October 22nd. For those of you who haven't been to the festival, it is an outstanding festival and a lot of fun. Why do I say that? I say that for a number of reasons. First, the festival has an outstanding site. All buildings are permanent and well maintained. It is a pleasure to shop in the shops or watch various acts in the various open-air theaters they have. Second, the entertainment has been consistently excellent. I look forward to seeing Fight School, Hack and Slash, and the Squire on the Wire again. The festival also plans to have some acts that haven't been there before including Mediaeval Baebes, an all female British group that sings classical music and plays classical instruments. From their website, they look seriously hot. Third, they offer some really good food. The place got me seriously hooked on smoked turkey legs. I can't wait to go back and munch down on one. Lastly, it is very affordable. It only costs $17 for adults, $15 for Seniors, and $8 for kids (anyone under 15). If you sign up for their mailing list, you can receive a brochure through the mail with a discount coupon that will save you between $1 and $3 apiece for admission until September 11th.

So, mark your calendars, start getting your medieval or renaissance costume ready, and begin preparing for a fun day at the festival. See you there!
