Memorial Day weekend was a rollercoaster ride of weather and events. Sadly the traditional joust tournament was cancelled since the usual number of entrants were not available this year. The weather was erractic. Saturday was warm and over 90% humidity. Saturday night unleashed severe and I mean severe thunderstorms leaving the grounds mushy, but cool and comfortable. Monday was still mild but rained intermittedly throughout the day. There were still plenty to see and do since the weekend brought an enormous number of visitors. Besides the usual out of town playtrons there were guest cast from both Kansas City and Minnesota festivals. Supposedly over 80 of them arrived. That's a serious load of street performers. From Minnesota also came a very cool madrigal trio.
