Hi Everyone,

Yesterday (Sept 21st) I went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly Michigan. The festival is set up as a small Renaissance era village complete with a castle, shops, vendors, comedy type shows, and typical food that was eaten during that time. You can see jousting and lots of people dressed up in Renaissance period clothing which is really neat. As for things to buy their are actual swords, period outfits, figures, oils, and you can even get a tarot card reading to find out about your future. I went to the festival this year to buy a hand made staff with crystals, etc on it to complete my Dungeon and Dragons cosplay outfit. I figured what better place to find something like that. I ended up buying a 16 inch wooden wand that had a Celtic cross attached to it made out of a reddish stone. Since my outfit is a Celtic cleric one I decided that the wand worked better with the outfit.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever gone to a renaissance festival or a reenactment from the Camelot or Renaissance era. Also if you did what type of outfit did you wear?
