A festival all centered on the 14th-17th
centuries in Europe.
If you’re looking for a flashback into the
past or just a little vacation away from the current society this is a good
stop. This one is located at:21778 FM 1774 Todd Mission, Texas 77363
Let’s get right into the action!
1. They put on plays, jousting events that has the crowd divided into sides to cheer on their chosen knight, Robin Hood and Maid Marian fighting for “true love” from the sheriff of knotting ham, a free bird flying show, knife throwing with humor and more. After the actors are done entertaining, they remain in character and continue talking in old English jargon. It adds the perfect touch to this place.
3. The food is at a fairly good price and well worth
it. They have homemade beef jerky, kettle corn, funnel cakes, chicken, steak,
fish, crawfish, pudding, and lots of deep friend desserts like Twinkies and
bananas (my favorite) and many more.
4. They have plenty of things for the entire family, especially
for the kids. From a petting zoo and pony, elephant and camel rides, to an
amazing maze which is pretty cool to find your way through. You can always
bring your kids on their “school days” (Generally in the beginning of November)
to learn courtly dances, history of arms and armor and the ancient art of
falconry.
6. If you’re a big renaissance buff, they have plenty of shops to
purchase full body armor, swords, knives, candles, clothes, things for your
house like rugs and blankets and even furniture, pottery and even lawn
ornaments.
Keep an eye out or visit one of the links below to see when
they’re having a themed weekend. They have some pretty creative workers that go
through a lot to bring you a piece of the past. I hope your visit will be as
memorable as mine!
