Renaissance Pleasure Faire 2008

Sunday, May 18, was the last day of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire 2008, so I made it on time.  They moved it to Irwindale, CA a few years ago probably because it gets too hot in San Bernadino.  I remember buying tickets at a cheaper price from UCR my last 2 years there.  However, I don’t recall it being that hot at the Faire.  Then again, it was usually hot in Riverside so it probably didn’t make much difference.  I don’t know how people, especially the visitors, could stand layers of fancy costumes in such hot weather.

The Faire itself hasn’t changed much in the past decade.  I think the only big change I noticed was the increase in prices, and many things are pretty much modern items in disguise.  That’s why I didn’t buy anything, except cold snacks and water.  Still, it was interesting, and a good change from the regular everyday life.
