I've gone to two before. The first time just in normal cloths and the second I dressed up which made the whole thing much more fun.

I go every year in costume.
We've been going regularly for 20 years or so, although I attended my first faire when i was about 15 or so, right around the time the closest one to us first opened its doors What did you decide to do, OP? |

Well so far my kid is still gun ho for her own garb. I'm sure we will put something together during the winter months. I'm still not sure what I want to do... my chubby side still wants to hide in a robe. But there is no way I could make it through a hot day alive in that. But I like the simplicity and look of the robe. I suppose I will end up more peasant like to keep from cooking too much. And I need to find a way to CCW  |

Sterling or the one in Orange county? I go with a quarter staff and a boot knife. Not sure you really need any more than that at either faire in NYS |

I went to my first one back in early August. I liked it enough that I went again in early Sept.
I liked it much more than I thought I would. Originally, I was just curious and it looked like it might be a good time. Now, I'm sort of hooked, okay, not sort of, I AM hooked. I ordered a set of clothes from Medieval Collectibles and a hat from Tall Toad last Friday. The Ren-Faire does connect with me on more than a couple of levels. I like crafts, women in corsets, food, distilled/fermented beverages, live entertainment, medieval weaponry.......Hey, what's NOT to like!  |
