I attended the opening weekend of the 29th season of the Texas Renaissance Festival. The weather good and opening day and weekend had record crowds.
The era is King henry and his Queen Katherine of Aragon. They are holding a tournament of champions where the winning knight will be crowned royal champion and oversee the King's forces. As always George added new elements to the the site
including a new look to the joust arena and the greek area.
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
