pyrateleather Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I knew the name sounded familiar, thanks to Mel Brooks then The storefront in your pictures is RenBoots' booth, I'm not sure if they were the one's in it during Pirate Fest but that is their booth during the Renaissance Festival. We're around the corner, sort of on the back side of that shop, back near the pirate ship stage. Say hello at the Renaissance Festival. http://www.PyrateTradingCompany.com
