what passes for a renaissance faire in CT


This faire is apparently replacing the Southern CT Renaissance Faire, which we attended two years ago. Recalling that experience this faire isn't much different except that the site was much more swampy than the last one we visited. Sadly there isn't much of a renaissance atmosphere what with all the skimpy costumes, glittery horns, faerie wings, brightly dyed hair, and elf ears. I'm not even going to talk about the more traumatizing vissages of the day. We stayed maybe 4 hours, and honestly I'm not convinced it was worth the $30 of admission. It was... disappointing.
On a brighter note, it really makes me look forward to visiting the MD Renaissance Festival this year. You don't really appreciate a good thing until you see something the alternatives.
