Renaissance Festival

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival was originally established in 1971.
 According to THE SCRIBE, the Festival boasts 11 stages, 270 vendors booths and
has an attendance of over 335,000 during its annual seven-week run. The map of the Festival grounds, above, was provided by Jerome Jacobson aka "Wanderer29".

They have  elephants and since I never rode an
Elephant I got myself a ride.

 
The Festival is where Minnesota Artists meet customers so
they have work during the winter months. This is Jodee my host mother on the

The artists have built small houses that they use during the fair.
