On July 5th, Travis and I drove out to Eminence, Kentucky, so we could go to the Kentucky Highland Renaissance Faire. It was hot, I knew it would be, but I have been to faire’s when it was hotter. I went with a sleeveless dress to make things a bit more comfortable, and wore my hiking sandals, because I couldn’t fit my boots in the luggage.
Travis met this very cool beared man. He taught me all about beards and beard care. I bought some stuff to see what I can do with Travis’s beard. We’ll see what happens.
Travis didn’t get to bring his sword, because it was also hard to fit in the luggage. He also didn’t have his boots, but he seemed fine with it.
The faire had some nice shady areas, and a lot of the vendors were in actual buildings. It was a really nice area.
As with so many faires, there were a lot of vendors. I barely looked at them though because I was trying not to spend a whole ton of money. Especially on the first day of a lengthy trip.
We did do a quest, because I love quests. They are a fun way to spend time at a faire, and are usually really affordable.
There were some parts of the grounds that were wide open, very sunny spaces. I did go back to the car, almost immediately, to get my parasol. It was a gorgeous day. But hot.
Even with signs, it was very easy to get lost. We spent a lot of our day trying to remember where we saw the water faucets. It was very important to keep finding those.
I love that the entry to the faire (and the exit) was through the woods. It was even more like entering another time than usual.
It was a fun day and a great way to start our trip in Kentucky. And it was only the beginning of our fun.
