Location:
This year and next the faire has moved from Sunset Park to Silverbowl park off Russell Rd. I know there were some complaints about this before the faire started. In my mind, it was a GREAT change. The faire did not seem as compact and boxed in with people. The new location had a very large space to walk around and enjoy the faire and not feel like you were tripping over other people.
Food:
The main food area was well set up so there was plenty of grassy area to sit and eat. The food and drinks were not overpriced. You could even get refills from 1 booth of your lemonade for $1. The funnel cakes this year were almost double in size of last year.
ATM:
Make sure you are prepared with cash at the Faires. The portable ATM machines will charge you $5 for a transaction fee.
Vendors:
There are a variety of vendors at the Faire. From a variety of faire clothing, kids items, jewlrey, weapons, princess & fairy items, umbrellas, fans, walking sticks, and so much more. All in all the prices at most of the vendors were reasonable. But sometimes if you see something you like, walk around you may find a better deal. Example we found a booth that had necklaces 2 for $15 but another booth they were $15 each for the same styles.
Rides:
This year there were not only the Camel ride for $5 but also a Horse Ride for $5 as well.
People:
The majority of people that participate at the faire as well as people that attend are super friendly. Its a great place to mingle with so many people in 1 area and almost everyone is laid back and having a good time.
I would reccomend going to the Ren Faire at least 1 day every year. I will be posting an Album of photos on http://www.dawncall.com/ in the events folder soon. I will also be doing some fantasy edits from some of the photos I took of Faire Participants that signed my release form.
Here are a few samples from the Faire:
