Ren Fest Plans

Every year we have a huge Renaissance Festival in nearby Crownsville , Maryland. Back in the day it would run every weekend in October. But it has become so popular and well attended that they expanded the open days so that they now start in August and run every weekend through September and October.

We plan to go again this year, but the wife suggested that we have costumes this time, which is a great idea. We’ve been trying to figure out what the costumes should be and where we can get them. Wifey had the idea to check the internet for Halloween Costume and see if there was anything that we can adapt to work for the Ren Fest.

Well knock me down with a feather - there’s a website that has adult and teen Halloween costumes but they also have an entire section of costumes devoted to Ren Fest characters! The prices are reasonable and the selection is much larger than I ever expected. Here’s what I’m ordering for my costume - and it comes in XXL so I’m sure it will fit:

That dude even looks like me! This is perfect. Now to let the wife and daughter find costumes - August will be here before we know it and I want to be ready for the opening day ceremonies.
