Events
Here's my page for events I go to. A lot of the things I say about these events have to do with how well the performing situation is set up, which is why some of my reviews are slightly strange.
Really fun, but I don't usually juggle much there.
A lot of fun, but I usually don't get to go any where cause I'm stuck by the stage waiting to go on.
My first Games, and probably my favorite. I love the grounds and the house.
Stafford Lake Renaissance Fair
It's fun, but really, REALLY hot. And of course I'm always wearing three to four layers. I guess that's why they sell ice cream there.
One of my favorites, mainly because the stage is in the shade.
It's supposed to be the biggest games. Fun, but very hot for dancing! I wouldn't rate it quite this high if it wasn't for the closing ceremonies where I dance country (even if I did crash into a highland dancer once).
Fun, but the backstage is awful.
This one is really fun, but the stage is tiny, and it's positioned just so that the trees that it's under don't give it shade, but drop leaves on it.
My absolute favorite, and it's GONE! I went every year since I was eight, There was a zoo and an amusement park, and the whole thing was really kid friendly. I also made tons of friends and memories there (like the time we found a black widow spider in our tent, and the time I killed my ankle on the tight rope), and then they had too go and cancel it. It's gone, GONE! *sniff*
Fun, a nice set-up, and I actually get too walk around and look at things! The stage however, is usually in shambles, and the group hang-out is like two booths up from the black smithers (down wind, of course) and because you're in a booth you have too be really careful not to let plastic bottles and stuff show.
Really fun! For the rehearsals everything smells like cow, but for the actual fair, it's amazing. The stage is dimly lighted and slippery, but at least it's HUGE! The vendors are nice too. It still sort-of smells though.

Really great! They decorate the house with tree in every room, it's really amazing! Last year my friend I were asked to count trees by a lady who worked there, we came up with 26 in all (18 big ones and 8 little ones). The set-up for performing isn't so nice though. Sorry, I couldn't find a link to this one.
