Great Lakes Medieval Faire

I can't believe I never made a web post on the Great Lakes Medieval Faire! We went in July for a friends bachelorette party, because she was having a medieval theme wedding. It was such a fun trip. It took about 3 hours from where we live to reach the faire. We left early, besides my blunder of forgetting the tickets, and getting a speeding ticket, and arrived pretty much on time though we did miss the opening because we got off track to stop at rite aid for some items we had left at home. We all wore costumes.

 Costumes are fun, but sometimes they make you a little warmer too. The faire had food, shops, shows (which I wish I saw more of), pets, and some medieval activites. I ended up getting a migraine and had to leave a few hours before some of the others which was a bummer. Some people even brought their pets!

The people who work at the faire and at the shops are usually dressed up too and are in character sometimes. It was fun taking a photo with this man! (I bought my pointy hat at this faire). You can I think rent costumes, buy outfits, and wear accessories while there. Also we rode an elephant which was pretty fun too.

The Washing Well Wenches, in my opinion, have the best show. The were so funny and the songs are catchy. Be on time to this one, and they do have audience participation. I would totally make sure to see their performance all the way through next time I go to the renn faire!
