Dave and I enjoy visiting the Renaissance festivals or fairs. We attended several of them through the years and always had a great time there. It is like going back in time to take a glimpse of how life was back then. This year we visited the Virginia Renaissance festival. It was a nice venue, although not as large as Maryland or North Carolina Renaissance festivals. I discovered that there are two types of Renaissance Festivals: the permanent (or semi-permanent) faire like The Maryland Renaissance Festival with buildings and streets, etc. and the tent faire where the buildings are mostly tents with small stages as in the case of the Virginia Renaissance Faire.
