Or the Colorado Renaissance Festival:
People in animal costumes
Despite the high heat (not to mention the fires in Colorado Springs) we decided to trek out to the town of Larkspur, Colorado and experience the Ren Fest for the first time. We purchased the “Royal Package” for 2 adults for only $39 though Denver Daily Deals which included entry tickets, $20 worth of food vouchers and two official Ren-Fest T-shirts.
The Gypsy Guerrilla Band
An Ongole cow
Part of a kiddie ride with other animals, mostly ponies and a llama. There were elephant rides as well… I think we saw this in Arizona last year.
And a Cat Show
This was known as Craig Wagner’s Endangered Cat Show where the big cats are escorted out on stage on a leash (the audience was warned not to move from their seats at any time during the cat’s performance). They (the cats) looked hungry.
And Celtic Lagacy
This band was so good, we stuck around for the last show! In this hot weather it was amazing to see these guys run around with pipes and drums and not get hurt. More fun than we can remember! We were the last ones to leave (we had hotel reservations in Castle Rock, so we didn’t need to hurry home).
