Texas Renaissance Festival's Official Website .On the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd, I returned to the Texas Renaissance Festival. 2 words can sum up the weekend:wet and dreary. But that seems to describe this season as a whole. Saturday had very good crowds
but it was grey and it was raining on and off even though it was suppose to be overcast. By the end of the evening, there was light but perpetual rain so the grounds were muddy by Sunday morning. Sunday was intermittently damp and misty, light rain and then heavy showers,
swinging back and forth. Still I managed to see some new acts and such and experience some good moments.
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
