March brings the 7th annual staging of this medieval faire set outside Austin. Opening weekend was beautiful, warm and clear. It was also extremely blusterly and windy. Opening day also drew a huge crowd that was enthusiastic and resposive to the offerings of the faire.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

The goal is to determine who will be the high king and wielder of Excalibur	Morgan reminds she is the only legitimate heir of King Uthor	Much to Arthur's consternation	With some difficulty, Merlin gets all to agree to a trial by combat to resolve the matter
New to the festival is Whipboy	An artiste of world stature	and dignity	and several talents
Like conjouring dangerous balloon animals	Initiating making a dog ballonn	A little coffee...	and it should be done in 15 minutes
Enlisting the help of a volunteer	who is not very trusting	but doesn't mind sharing in the tips	A little from the back whip stunt
and voila!	A windblown Queen Anne's Lace getting medieval	Singing Paddy Murphy	The Royal family watching on
