Cheeky Actress Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 REENACTORFEST AT BRISTOL RENAISSANCE FAIRE! JULY 12-13, 2008 is a special weekend for Reenactors in the Midwest! The Bristol Renaissance Faire is promoting Reenactor Fest that weekend by encouraging historical reenactors of all time periods to come to the Fair dressed in your historical impression! It's going to be a crazy day, even for a place KNOWN to be crazy! The food, drink, entertainment and merchants at Bristol make the atmosphere magical... and YOU will make it even more so when you show up July 12 - 13th in your period kit! Please leave your functioning firearms at home, and all edged weapons (including bayonets) must be "peace tied" to the scabbard. This means securing it with string to your scabbard so that it cannot be drawn. The Bristol Rennaissance Fair is located just over the Illinois / Wisconsin border in nearby Kenosha, WI. Please visit the website for directions, hours, and additional details. We'll see you there! Member of "The Forsaken"
LadyBarbossa Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Oooooo.... :::Drools::: Tempting! Very tempting! Though, m' gown not be finished. Nor do I have m' uniform any more as a Dragoon. I let the Legion have it for someone else t' use. If I go... I'd be dressed a some Gentlewoman durin' the Rev War era. Ooooh, amnesty! I wouldn't feel so bad wearin' somethin' NOT Renaissance if invited to wear somethin' that is not of the era. Again.... temptin'. Very temptin'. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBarbossa Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Brilliant photos, Cheeky! Thank ye for sharing them. T'was sad on Saturday for not being able to make it up. I was thinking of Bristol the whole day and wondered who all were able to show up. Mr Bellows... be that a Queen's Ranger (Rev War) outfit he's got on? Too funny. The amount of times I've shot at him on the battle field! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Merrydeath Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 great photos!! I was wishing I could go too, and made it as far as the Iowa border and then turned back for lack of time.. Capt Sterling with short hair.. a nice cool look, Capt! and Cheeky, pretty as always.. Madame Mary, good to see your smile! cheeky, I have 2 vintage hats, one straw and one a bowler type. Both need some tender care and repair. What and who do you suggest to fix brims? Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!

The amount of times I've shot at him on the battle field! ~Lady B Actually Mr. Beasley was wearing his 95th Rifles, but certainly rather similar in approach to style and cut.
