We had a great time at the Renaissance Faire, but I can't say we learned a whole lot. The event was mostly food and booths with things to buy. We did watch some belly dancing, sword fighting and a magician. The kids did point out a lot of historical inaccuracies, so some learning did occur. Plus it was fun. We met some great people from the The Astronomical Society of Las Cruces. and from the Paleozoic Trackways Foundation.
The kids bought some wooden swords and Brent got a shield. They enjoyed the rat on a stick (teriyaki chicken) and dragon scales (funnel cakes). The parade was also very enjoyable to watch. We will be going next year.
lol every year it get more more accurate.. you should of seen it several years ago. They were selling lots of native American items. pretty sure they did not live in Europe during the renaissance faire. Slowly it become less craft fair and more renaissance.
