Sample Images
6404 While waiting outside to enter I met John. John attends these all over California and it is his full time hobby. He confirmed to me that this was one of the largest and fun filled faire in California.
6478 You have free run of the entire park and there are people there from all over the world. I met this gentleman whose name I have forgotten but he was preparing his lunch. He invited me to share it with him but I declined as Tony and I had just finished our lunch. But he was a nice man.
6524 Last we attended the Jousting matches and in case you are wondering if they really do Joust the answer is yes. It the event here they have the clubs and they are trying to beat one another off of their horse. It turns out that if you hit your opponent hard enough he does in fact fall to the ground.
We will meet at the gate at 10:00 and enter the park. We will not attempt to stay together but will roam and shoot at our own pace. We would like to regroup at times like for lunch and at the Jousting matches but it is up to you. But do come and enjoy the day with us.
Regards
Rog
